Poorly-socialized male-at-birth who was mostly raised by screens (TV, computer, etc...) rather than their parents, and therefore didn't properly develop a healthy identity during their adolescence, as well as having no friends or positive male role-models growing up. Their screen-addiction and lack of identity leads them to form parasocial relationships with various female pornography subjects and/or female video game & cartoon characters, causing them to identify as girls, and become "transgender lesbians".

Get the Troon mug.A word used to describe something very good, impressive, or enjoyable. Saying something is “troon” means you fully approve of it.
Often used for emphasis, especially when reacting to something that feels satisfying or exciting. Can describe anything — a moment, a meal, a person, an outcome — as long as it hits just right.
Examples:
• “Mate, that’s fucking troon.”
• “Scored tickets last minute — troon.”
• “This pizza is pure troon.”
Origin:
Originally the name of a town in Scotland, but repurposed as a positive expression. It’s become part of casual speech to hype things up or show strong approval.
