I think in this case it's more that there is a very real autism/troon crossover, so people who might have in the past just been rather autistically obsessed with certain hobbies, are now obsessed with those hobbies and also troons.
The autism angle can't be overstated, but any event that involves dressing up is going to attract people with a crossdressing fetish. An ornate dress feeds into it way more than wearing what women actually wear on a daily basis (sweatpants and stolen t-shirts).
See also: anime/comic cons, Halloween, any kind of formal party.
It used to be done as a joke, though. You'd have a fat, ugly dude show up dressed like Faye Valentine or something, everyone would have a good laugh, then he'd change back into men's clothes and go home. Now you have gaggles of faggots taking it seriously and expecting everyone else to take them seriously.
There is also a lot of crossover with anime cosplayers at things like renfests.
Anime cosplayers have done cross-plays (dressing as a different sex) without being trannies in their day-to-day life for decades. They see it as a challenge.
It's a powerful combo that allows total focus on the one thing in front of you, at the complete detriment of everything else in your life.
Then they start watching more and more degenerate porn, and the wires get crossed. That bleeds into their daily lives, and without ever realising it, the hyperfocus they enjoyed for whatever job or hobby is now all about the genderbending and bringing their fetishes to the outside world.
This is why it's so common in programming now, geek/nerd culture, streamers, all the "autistic" spaces, because with or without autism, that ED+A combo has been the way to compete in those spaces same as amphetamines was in the entertainment industry in the 60s-90s.
Thy hyperfocus comes at the cost of becoming the absolute NPC. Easily programmed by any repeat stimulus.

Especially an event famous for men wearing "skirts" (kilts) which gives a real plausible deniability angle for those on the edge.

And some of that stuff, in both directions, is quite impressive.
Energy drinks + Adderal.

I never thought or realized the energy drinks and adderal combo. Not all porn addicts turn into trannys but all trannys are porn addicts.
Yikes.
