The one trans (or rather 'non binary') person I know is like a caricature of all the things people dislike about trans culture: he's a man who wears women's clothes, surrounds himself (or rather 'themself') with plush toys and My Little Pony crap, and posts on social media about how important Pride Month is for 'us'.

I don't think he's part of any grand conspiracy, I just think he's a bit of a weirdo, but you can see how people like that would gravitate towards an identity that allows them to be as provocative as they like and still claim victim status. He's not gay and has a daughter btw 😳
Sounds exactly like the local we see at our coffee shop who has a few kids. He looks so ridiculous with his pink and green eye shadow and really bad outfits, yet he uses his victim status to be outright rude to the staff. The manager of the coffee shop however won't put up with any of his bullshit and last time told him/her/they/them needed to leave. The manager is a gay man so he doesn't get any pushback.
I agree 100% about him being gay shouldn't matter but I think it was relevant because I'm not sure if the Manager were straight, he or she would be given the same grace on their actions of telling the ridiculous person to leave. This is in San Francisco and the liberal meter runs high.
Given the grace by whom? If people would stand up for an antisocial bully simply because he's trans, I'd say they're part of the problem. I feel like this state of affairs can't go on much longer
Many MANY people "would stand up for an antisocial bully simply because he's trans". That's what's been happening for years now, and only recently has pushback been socially OK. Musk buying Twitter was the signature event that undercut some of the power of the transactivists. They still wholly own the Democratic Party though.
I know what you mean, but I feel like how people react online is often not how they would react IRL. Then again, I don't live in San Francisco! I've visited Brighton (UK) plenty of times though, and I can imagine some people there letting trans people walk all over them

That's good that the manager stood up to him, but it really shouldn't matter that he's gay. These people are just antisocial and unpleasant.
When people with kids do it it's a whole other level of horrific. I have a post about exactly that in my drafts that I will finish sooner or later

Well, as I like to say, GWL (guilty white liberals) and progressives which make up a large percentage of SF residents.
