My body isn't a temple, it's a Spirit Halloween

And a tendency to base one's viewpoints not on any actual values or material outcomes (these will still be invoked as justification, though not consistently), but on status. Being one of the cool kids

And that combination leads people with that perception to 1. be much more amicable towards people with completely opposite views to their own, than towards people with similar but more moderate views than their own, and 2. always try to be the Most Radical person in the room while accusing everyone else in the room of being Less Radical and therefore More Worse

Something else I have noticed on top of what you describe is that very often transmascs (of any ‘type’, gender identity, sexuality, and so on) that are not medicalized or not medicalized enough to pass are ALSO sidelined and dismissed, if not outright treated with hostility, in LGBT+ spaces, including ones that explicitly say they are 'trans inclusive'. So we are also sidelined if a person in these spaces deems us to be 'too cishet', but in the opposite sense - too much like a cis woman whose masculinity is not 100% irrefutable and unclockable.

And this applies not just to transmascs that choose to have a more 'feminine' gender presentation, but also just as much to transmascs that DO style themselves as masculine as possible but get still read as ‘tryhard girls wanting to feel special’ by onlookers entirely because of physical characteristics they cannot (yet) change such as facial features, voice, height, visible breasts even through binders &/or tape, body fat distribution, etc.

So we’re essentially damned if we do and damned if we don’t: we either aren’t trying hard enough and are silly little girl interlopers bothering the Real Queers or, the second we start to pass a bit too well, we’re evil rapey threats scaring the Real Queers.

No one doing this should be allowed to call themselves a feminist.
