If I understand you correctly, and if what you say is actually what gender critical feminists believe, then it seems that I have drastically misunderstood this whole thing. It sounds like you're saying that there's something wrong with people who don't conform to gender stereotypes. I thought that the whole point of gender critical feminism was that you REJECT the concept of gender, and that a woman can dress and act "masculine" without that making her any less of a woman and a man can dress and act "feminine" without that making him any less of a man because personality and sex aren't connected. I don't see why a woman who has been convinced that she isn't really a woman because her personality doesn't quite fit society's idea of what a woman is necessarily has to have something seriously wrong with her.

Your work colleague refers to herself an non binary and prefers they/them pronouns = RED FLAG. People can wear what they like despite their biological sex, gender stereotyping, on the other hand, is problematic and is the prime motivation for people who transition. Hope, I’ve made myself clearer.

So let me get this straight. People who fall for the TRAs' BS and identify as trans or non-binary all have something fundamentally wrong with them, as opposed to just being victims of the patriarchy and the echo chambers created by the way that social media works?

Yes.
