Obviously not QT, but I am trans. I feel like this is just a weird gotcha question. I guess there could be trans natal males who just say they are women and don’t do anything to transition, but that still seems usual. Also, males who transition, but don’t have some type of cross-sex identity also seems unusual, so I’m not really sure who is being imagined.

Plus, it’s not like I go through life telling people I’m a woman and I’m not sure if most trans natal males do. It’s just how people group me. That doesn’t mean it’s not how I think of myself even if I’m not actually that, other than socially. Which category of man would I fall into?

I guess what's wrong with saying there is no necessary difference between a man who says they're a woman and a man who does not say they're a woman?

No objective difference. Gender identity is entirely subjective.
