Whenever my trans friends hear about a cis person with ANY hobby they're always like "oh yeah they're gonna be coming out any day now".

What do only trans people have hobbies?

It’s probably just because more people are safer coming out as trans so the catalog of “indicators” is broadening to reflect that phenomenon. Also because they are all alive now they share the zeitgeist with everyone and are tapped in. I just think our pattern-recognizing human brains are looking for patterns, and some people like to use that for humor or something but I wouldn’t really dig much deeper than that
