graduation phenomenon

The tendency of transgender individuals to drift into the background and away from the trans community the farther along they are in their transition. That isn't to say that they no longer identify as LGBT, but rather, their involvement in trans support groups, trans subreddits, local trans events, etc. wanes with time as they become less in need of active support and less able to relate to younger trans (baby trans) experiences and concerns like the onset of the effects of HRT, the process of coming out, getting all new clothes, and (especially for those who have had bottom surgery) bottom dysphoria.

If they are a trans lesbian (transbian), for instance, they may continue to attend pride events, but focus more on being a lesbian than being trans because being trans has essentially moved to the back of their mind; it's no longer something they actively think about beyond administering their estrogen.
"Why is it that most of the trans women here don't mind their genitals, when statistically, most trans women want SRS? Are we outliers?"
"Graduation phenomenon - they all got it and moved on."

The graduation phenomenon accounts for much of the ideological divide between so-called baby trans and elder trans individuals.

Jacob's Phenomenon

The Jacob's Phenomenon describes the tendency to perform worse on a second attempt at a task, despite expectations of improvement. This effect can be attributed to overthinking, reduced adrenaline and focus, or pressure to replicate initial success. Neurological fatigue and natural variability in performance also play a role. For instance, a basketball player may sink a perfect shot on their first try but miss the next due to overanalyzing their form. While the phenomenon can be discouraging, it is typically short-lived, and consistent practice helps individuals overcome the dip and achieve steady improvement.
Oh, Luc you can't parry anymore? Must be "Jacob's Phenomenon".

the drone phenomenon

The drone phenomenon occurs when a person starts behaving according to the best interests of a religion or nationality that is different than his own, even when they're fully aware their behavior is harmful and goes against their own personal best interests or the best interests of their religion or nationality. The drone phenomenon is a form of corruption pioneered by the Anglican and Catholic Churches. It can explain erratic behavior that would've otherwise been dismissed as having a low level of intelligence. The drone phenomenon is closely related to the phenomenon of deliberate incompetence and religious and nationalist corruption.
He or she is behaving like a mindless drone that is remotely controlled by an unknown party! We're witnessing the drone phenomenon in action.
