Part of the reason T4T is so common is the mix of "don't freak out and kill me" plus "I'm not going through gender 101 with you," sure. It's way easier being trans with other trans people in that way. But also another part of it is a certain amount of wanting "holy shit your gender is so awesome, my gender is so awesome, I love what you're doing with gender, I'm amazing at gender" to go both ways. Which, not many cis people are like that about their gender. Not zero, but it's not common, and I just enjoy sharing the genderiness of it all too much.
