I’d love to be wrong here, but my cynical side says at least some people are going to do exactly that, and various transphobic bigots are going to point to cis bad actors as proof that trans people are dangerous. Just like the high school teacher with the giant prosthetic breasts claiming first that they were trans, and then after being photographed outside school without the breasts that the photo was fake and actually they’re intersex and the breasts are real. Just straight up obvious lawsuit chasing bullshit, but people ate it hook, line, and sinker because it plays into every terrible prejudice they have about trans people.
The guy that shot up that gay bar in Colorado already did that. Went his whole life as a he/him, then when arrested decided he was a they/them, then decided he was a regular guy again a few days later, and conservative media still will repeat that part of the story as if there was any legitimacy to it.
