I've said before, both the "trans people" I've known were clearly pressured into it by someone else. Seems like every coercive group become obsessed with genetalia.
Ran across this one on the heaven's gate cult doing the same thing:
"Applewhite began to question the obedience of his members...Now, he asked the men to join him in castration...Marshall Applewhite was talking about, How far would you go? To attain your mission?"

"On March 26, 1997, deputies of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department discovered the bodies of the 39 active members of the group, including that of Applewhite, in a house in the San Diego suburb of Rancho Santa Fe. They had participated in a mass suicide, a coordinated series of ritual suicides, coinciding with the closest approach of Comet Hale–Bopp.[3][4] Just before the mass suicide, the group's website was updated with the message: 'Hale–Bopp brings closure to Heaven's Gate ...our 22 years of classroom here on planet Earth is finally coming to conclusion—'graduation' from the Human Evolutionary Level. We are happily prepared to leave 'this world' and go with Ti's crew.'"
"Applewhite believed that the "next level" was a place without gender. The Heaven's Gate environment was one of androgyny. Men and women wore close-cropped hairdos and baggy clothing."
That's very similar to contemporary tranny garbage. They have a dualist view of the self like that. Look at Martine Rothblatt, for example. The difference is modern trannies consider technologically created transhumanism to be their ultimate liberation.
It actually echoes right the fuck back to the gnostics, who thought the God of the Old Testament had to be the Devil, because only the Devil involves itself in Earthly things at all (including making the damn thing!) The God of the New Testament, on the other hand, was seen as pure spirit (aka, energy being.)
(On the other hand, you have the medieval symbol of the gryphon. Half eagle, half lion, half king of the sky, half king of terrestrial beasts. Half spirit being, half mundane beast. Guess who it's a metaphor for? It's why one appears towing the chariot that takes Dante from Purgatory to Paradise in the Divine Comedy. Although in this case, it's a welcome synthesis.
Also consider the werewolf, the fear of the animal in Man.)
Yeah, gnostics were similar, too.
