It would make sense why GC and QT butt heads so so much on this stuff. If most trans people were capable of seeing things from the GC perspective, I think the 'illusion' would cease to exist and it's hard to imagine they would stay trans, or at least think of themselves and others as belonging to another sex or being sexless. Gender dysphoria seems to thrive on the misunderstanding, which is what the previous diagnosis of gender identity disorder highlighted. Part of it is our inaccurate or incomplete understanding of sex, sex role stereotypes and our own sex. I say 'our' as in trans people, I guess that's generalizing, but from my own perspective which I see as very warped I feel like that's maybe the case. But maybe that's totally off, too lol
