This. Just in the group of 200 people who were at the last smallish con I attended, there were four other trans guys I know/with whom I'm acquainted/friends-of-friends/etc. Not in online fandom. IRL guys. I don't think they're fad-hopping ~confused girls (at least not when I'm in anything other than an exquisitely bitter, jealous mood).
I have to admit it does make me feel a little weird, though. Like suddenly finding myself in a really big fandom and feeling like a hipster douche. Especially since the number of (visible/out) trans girls seems so, so much lower. I don't get it.
But I don't think all these people are liarpants, and I don't even want to touch with a 29.5 foot pole the shittacular implications à la Dirt.
