It may be shocking to see someone work directly against their own interests this way, but it shouldn’t be especially shocking that they’re trans.
Gender-normativity never had and never will have a monopoly on opportunists, trolls, and morons.

I suspect the user above you doesn’t care about that technicality. They’re just blaming victims for not being as virtuous as we are, which is small.
lol no. Shortage. Can’t be fully asleep or awake.
I was haunting that ghost last night.
She was a serial killer when she was alive and a memory feeder in her afterlife.
To stop her, I had to destroy her trophies, but each time I projected to one of her victim’s bodies I had to work quickly, because she would show up immediately when I touched a trophy and begin darting through me repeatedly, erasing parts of me.
At the last body I couldn’t remember my name, or anything at all, just the task. And she was already there, frantic and weeping.
I wasted no time destroying the last of her trophies and made my escape. Bud she grabbed me, somehow, as I vanished. She embraced me, cohabiting my projection, and I instantly knew her story, and understood why she killed all those people.
But I woke myself shouting the deprojection command. My cat, startled, just blinked at me. My body and memories were intact. It was just a weird dream.
My eyes felt hot, though, as if I had been weeping.
Oh hell yeah. Ambisextrous ponytail giant is the cutest. Thanks!

Agreed, the trend would be troubling, especially if the explanation is that trans individuals’ political ideologies are shifting right. But there are other explanations we might entertain first.
For example, it’s not unlikely that the cohort inclined to identify as trans on a questionnaire has become not just larger but more ideologically inclusive via nascent mainstreaming. Meaning the trend could be mostly or entirely explained by recently affirmed gender identities, people who now feel ready/comfortable/safe to identify who didn’t before.
IIRC mainstreaming of homosexuality saw similar trends; e.g., more openly gay republicans, leading to similar speculation of a rightward shift when it was really just an expected statistical artifact being misinterpreted.
