TBH :
1/Why would they want to go in a space where they would be discriminated against? Construction jobs are not for the smoll beans. Plus with all the surgeries and dysphoria attacks trans people would be ill advised to go into such a demanding field. Physical work and colourful jokes? Stitching popping left and right, plus Immediate death.
That’s not the point. TIFs have some type of masculinity in mind but it’s a very specific cookie cutter brand of masculinity. To them, masculinity means acting like a fuckboy and wearing dress shirts and cargo pants. TIFs don’t do construction work out of health concerns, they don’t do it because the thought to doesn’t even exist in their minds to begin with.
Trannies don’t exhibit the opposite gender’s “behavior,” they exhibit stereotypes.
ETA: not to sound like an autistic incel, but if we strip human behavior to the very basics we shared with our ancestors that only lives today as a minor byproduct if at all, trannies still don’t fit the bill. Men are genetically wired to be more protective and physically inclined, women are genetically wired to be more nurturing. And to clarify, these don’t have to automatically mean all men must enjoy building fences and all women should enjoy running a kindergarten. Instead these tendencies show up in different variations, because people are fucking complicated. “Protectiveness” can come in the form of a man who enjoys giving food to the homeless, “nurturing” can come in the form of a woman taking care of a plant. And even then that’s massive generalization, acting more like the “opposite sex” doesn’t fucking mean you’re stuck in the wrong body.
You never see these traits in trannies. A TIM’s interest in pregnancy and babies stems from a breeding kink, not from a genuine desire to take care of toddlers. TIF’s interest in martial arts stems from wanting to be hot edgy anime men, not from a genuine desire to throw hands at other men who threaten you because your instincts tell you to.
The reason you don’t see it in trannies is because TRA don’t actually get this. Ironically, for being self proclaimed leading progressives, they strictly believe in old gender roles and only enforce neuroscience when it suits their narrative. If you like cute pink stuff, you’re a girl, no nuance whatsoever.
Admittance that “masculinity” and “femininity” can be expressed however you want to express it and it doesn’t make you any less of a man/woman is admittance that their whole ideology is sexist and flawed.
