Interesting take but I think the whole gender thing is a ruse. For example, look at all of the nutty ideas these people promote like gametes and chromosomes don't mean anything significant. It's straight up science denial. It's the stuff postmodern everything is subjective dreams are made of. So I'd say the transgender concept is not opposite of homosexuality, because sexuality is simply a phenomenon. Transgenderism is more like off to the side and on another plane from homosexuality.

People believe in sky gods. Humans clearly don’t have any problem with denial

Human beings are very good at this. There should be a psychological study on the need of the masses to aggressively go against what they know is real, and deny it with all their will. "The Earth isn't round!" "Evolution isn't real!" and so on.

True! I'm going to look up if there is any study about this

It really doesn't explain it much. Or does it? The American healthcare system is shady and corrupted -> people by reaction decide that vaccines are dangerous -> people will go out of their way to decide vaccines are dangerous. Ok, sure. But how does that explain that reaction to a bad healthcare system was to decide to ignore vaccines?

The vaccine problem also comes from a fake reaserch made by a doctor that correlated autism with the use of vaccines. It was later proved that he was paid by a pharmaceutical company to make such article and he lost his medical degree.

Indeed, I'd take YOUR take even further: transgenderism is off to the side and on another plane from sexual orientation as a whole.

Because, whether it's homosexuality, bisexuality, or heterosexuality, what do they all have in common? Being based on biological sex (one's own combined with that of those to whom one is attracted), NOT "gender". Since that's what "sexual orientation" means.

I don't know WHAT the hell "transgenderism" is, to be honest. But we can all be sure of one thing: a sexual orientation, it ain't.

That's right. Sex and sexuality are natural phenomenons that we objectively observe -- fundamental truths. Transgenderism is a concept which is subjectively interpreted. In order for something to oppose an other, shared attributes are required. Comparing sex/sexuality to transgenderism is like comparing the qualities of an orange to the recipe for Tang.

This is brilliantly on point.

I especially like the bits about them believing so much in gender stereotypes that they feel the need to be the opposite sex, getting themselves cosmetically altered to appear as something that they're quite simply not.

Flawlessly hits the nail on the head.
