But I guess a lot of transgender people perform in stereotypical ways in attempt to appear to themselves and others around them in the way that they inherently feel, a bit like a lot of cisgendered females. Off the top of my head, this might be for comfort, for over compersation, in an attempt to avoid discrimination or bullying, so they can go shopping/bathroom without uncomfortable glares, because they want to appear similarly to those they admire.
Not all transgender women wear dresses and avoid playing with trucks, I think thats an important milestone for you to understand in this debate.
I cant imagine there would be any significant difference between the ratio of transgender and cisgender women who act in these stereotypically feminine ways.

I understand this...no need to be so patronizing. Most though, outside of your one reddit thread (I could come up with a dozen threads on reddit about how they do conform to stereotypes btw...these kind of links are usually rubbished on here

) appear to 'perform femininity'...not 'be women'. Prominent transwomen especially.
