nah in my experience there's a subset of "transgender" people (these seem to be in the majority of such people I have met) who most likely have a mental illness or otherwise have a long period of vulnerability who are told by authority figures (psychiatrists, teachers, teaching assistants etc) that all their issues are because they are trans and if they transition all their problems will go away because they are trans and that's the problem once they are the "correct gender" it will be all fixed - this is then made worse by no one else wanting to say otherwise in case they are labeled as transphobic and lose their job
so the individual is being told from all sides that they are trans and anyone that dares say otherwise is shitcanned
all too often they find out too late that they were being told a bunch of shite and either kill themselves (41%) or try to "de-transition"
On the other, their problems might also go away if they had a modicum of willpower to think for themselves and stand up when authority figures tell them wrong.
its not just one authority figure once one of them decides "this person is trans" their co-workers who are most likely of the same ideology will enforce that
and with trans re-afirmation being the only thing psychiatrists are allowed to do in many countries these days (Canada I think mandates this you cannot say to someone that the powers that be have decided is trans that they might not be trans if you do you are transphobic)
so these mentally damaged people only have people forcing on to them the idea that they are trans and that is the only possible option anyone that says different is immediately un-personed

"Men are defective women."
Everything wrong with society always traces back to radical feminism.
On the one hand, sure.
On the other, their problems might also go away if they had a modicum of willpower to think for themselves and stand up when authority figures tell them wrong.
problem is they are gaslit
