I think my absolute favorite troon phenomenon is the TiFs who are so emotionally and physically weak that they almost seem like misogynist caricatures. Unlike the TiMs who are so perverted and violent that they almost seem like misandrist caricatures they aren't threatening, they're just pure hilarity.
It's old news by now, but I think it deserves to be remembered, anyone else remember the accusations of transphobia against Rosario Dawson and her family because a TiF tenant started shit? If you don't, here's an
article. The lawsuit centers around an alleged assault where Rosario Dawson's 60 year old mother (58 at the time I think?) beat her up. If a man did end up getting beat up by an unarmed sexagenarian woman there's not a chance in hell that he'd tell anyone, not even his best friend. The fact that "Dedrek" would go out and publically announce to the world that an old woman dragged her out a window and beat her ass shows that she understands men even less than an average 20 year old girl.
Troons at GenCon, don't despair. The AGP RPG "Thirsty Sword Lesbians"
won the Ennie for best game and best product (

It's a lame Powered by the Apocalypse game (and I generally like PbtA games) that doesn't do anything new with the concept while having a very weak theme
(trust me, a PbtA system that tries to handle everything from space opera (The Starcross Galaxy) to magical lesbian cafe (Lesbeans Coffeehouse) is just going to feel vapid and aimless. A major point of PbtA is have a clearly laid out idea of exactly what themes players are going to be building on and having mechanics that force them to engage with them). The book provides a dozen settings that are all way too different for one ruleset to cover well (each one has setting rules, but they aren't much), but even those are entirely optional and you could go even more off the rails... in fact, you don't even need to play lesbians. On page 197 they clarify that you can play "thirsty sword cishets" (though even the swords are optional) which makes you wonder why anyone would even bother with this amorphous game with ugly art.
Oh, by the way, here's the lead designer

(by the way, this guy wrote another AGP RPG, "A Place to Fuck Each Other" which is the worst RPG I've ever read. I've attached a PDF of both of these games.
He has a

Nevermind, apparently that's a cover. Here's an original song.
