Trans aren't GNC. They literally conform to gender stereotypes, thats why they're trans. You're not doing anything revolutionary, just reinforcing gender stereotypes that hurt women.

It’s not about conforming to societal stereotypes its about group identification

Via an instinct that cues off of certain biological traits in people (presumably some of the same traits that infants use to discern the sex of their parents) that exist in the individuals environment and then modulated through exposure to preexisting societal gender categories.

Infants discern the differences between their parents and other persons they interact with, and many of these differences are sex-linked. However, I think it's a stretch to say this means they "discern the sex of their parents."

This is just biological essentialism. Gender is not biology, biology is not gender. Do better, please.
