Ah, so if you wanna dance instead of playing ball, you’re a girl, and maybe need a gender-affirmative surgery. Wow, love this ultra-queer lemmy community.
People tend to gravitate towards the interests of groups they identify with, consciously or unconsciously. In a society where dance is seen as ‘feminine’, people who identify, consciously or unconsciously, with a female identity are more likely to gravitate towards it.
This doesn’t mean that men can’t enjoy dance, and it doesn’t mean that joining a dance class means you have to hand in your man card. It doesn’t even mean that dance is inherently feminine instead of dance being feminine being a modern social construct. It’s just a common kind of anecdote from trans folk - an attraction to hobbies, styles, or groups associated with their gender identity rather than their AGAB even before transitioning.
ultra queer Lemmy community? I’m cisgender and heterosexual. it’s just a comic that has a trans person in it. believe it or not looking at it doesn’t make me queer.
in contrast for every comic like this the are hundreds of comics that only feature cis people. i don’t think anyone turns cis or straight by looking at those either.

Has it occurred to you that maybe the point is trans girls like girly activities because they’re girls and not the other way around?
if you accept the world view that there are “manly” and “girly” activities, you are the problem.
