Psychologist here! We've had this discussion for a LONG time and it's pretty well known. We call this "Temperament" and it is a non-static sliding scale throughout an individuals lifetime.
There are some objective items we have identified about human behavior. It is correct that gender ROLES are socially created. Though we know that the social construct behind those roles usually has some sort of sensible biological marker that based them to begin with:
Example 1: Males do heavy lifting because they are more built for it, but it doesn't mean woman can not do it. It's just a matter of what makes the most sense.
Example 2: Women are better at interior design and micro engineering due to having eye evolution that grants them access to a wider array of the color spectrum and more patience on average than a male.
The idea that "Gender" and "Sex" are completely separate entities is pseudoscience. Politically motivated leftwing folk deliberately twist the language to make their point. Whereas most Americans do and historically have used Gender/Sex as a synonymous term, the modern left wing have insisted that "Sex" is simply a verb and a noun and gender only exists as an adjective. They use examples such as:
Example 1: "Lol go gender with your dad!"
They do this to deliberately obfuscate the language to put their position as completely unarguable or unbeatable. It's called Weasel Wording or "Doublespeak".
Now as for the whole "Gay is a choice or make people gay" debate there is a whole host of evidence that supports a lot of points and the conclusion at present time is "We just don't know with certainty."
We know that 100% Hetero or Homosexual human beings don't really exist. Everyone is sort of in-between. We call this the: "Kinsey Scale". So we know that human beings can be somewhat malleable to either side.
We also know that sexual abuse at a young age is HIGHLY correlated with being gay later in life and also a high chance of being a sexual offender themselves. (Which is extremely sad I will say)
Transgenderism is where things fly off the rails.
Yes, Body Dysphoria is a real condition. People with Diabetes and other forms of "by proxy" weight gain often experience this and it leads to depression and all sort of other mental ailments which can be pretty easily understood without a medical education.
We know from a singular comparative study done in the United Kingdom that kids who identify as 'Trans' are usually just confused on who/what they are (Typical of teenagers in general.) and these kids usually grow up to be gay but associate their feelings as "I must be a woman because I like X".
Intersex people DO exist but account for around 1.3% of the entire human population and while having intersex traits exist there is in fact no "Third classification" of sex. We use a variety of panel test and psychiatric evaluations to best determine the sex the individual fits in the most with. These people often look nothing like a transgender as you know them today.
Ultimately, there will come a point in time in which technology is able to make transsexual transformation a reality in true form but at that point in time of singularity the discussion will be far less about transgenderism and far more about transhumanism.
As of now, lopping off body parts of which kids are convinced is the right move via cognitive behavioral therapy isn't just incorrect, it's ethically reprehensible and any medical specialist engaging in this should both lose their right to practice and be subjected to criminal action. This is the modern equal of lobotomy for the low IQ.

To play devil's advocate, I believe all he's saying is that the capacity for developing a philia for same-sex relations exists in everyone. There's no "gay gene" or "gay switch" from birth. As men we think we aren't into that shit and it's so foreign that we can't understand how a guy could kiss another guy. Some of us even admit that women are naturally "bicurious" but that it doesn't apply to bros. We see two dudes getting it on, we have a natural revulsion. While there could be a sex difference, it's mostly learned for both sexes. Anybody could be conditioned to like anything, especially from a young age. That's why grooming is so essential to propagate their degenerate lifestyles to the next generation. At some point your preferences will become more or less "locked" in place.
As far as Kinsey goes, you don't need to read that pervert's research to conclude that if the above assumption is true, there will be a spectrum of that conditioning in every individual based on their unique upbringing and experiences. So some people will be more amenable to developing same-sex attractions than others. That position on the scale is also locked in at some point. It's not a binary switch. That doesn't mean we can't define gay and straight as a binary without issue, based on behavior or stated preference. Zodiac can correct me if I misrepresented his or her position.
I disbelieve that women are more patient. My hypothesis is that they are more agreeable so will but up with more timeeasting bs than men if they feel that quitting carries a social cost.
Also how is "better at interior design" measured? That doesn't seem particulary objective.
And lul "kinsey scale" is serious quackery. All "sex studies" are just excuses for perverts to tittilate themselves using grant money.
99% of psychology is fake. The "real" stuff the CBT can be summarized by "stfu and gbtw".

Pretty sure that’s fucking bullshit propagated by the rampant faggots infesting your field.

That information is older than modern identity politics so I highly doubt it.
If we were to discuss rise of transgender leaning feelings however.....
