I assume very few people are pretending about their gender identity for kicks. I think the vast majority honestly believe it (or want to believe it), but what they're feeling is merely an emotion. It's a subjective experience, not an objective one. I do believe that many if not most people who claim a gender identity in our current society (especially natal females) are reacting to the culture, not reacting to anything they were born with or that is intrinsic to them as a human being. Most of their distress is social and cultural, not biological in nature.
