I have a silly question. If MtF believe that they are "women", then why they use "they" instead of "she"? If FtM believe that they are "men", then why they use "they" instead of "he"?

P.S. English isn't my 1st language.

Your English is fine, it just doesn't make any sense to us either.

According to CNN website:

Some members of the LGBTQ+ community who identify as non-binary, gender non-conforming or genderqueer prefer "they/them" pronouns to reflect their identity and gender expression, rather than "he/him" or "she/her" pronouns that designate a person as male or female.

so it seems that they really don't like any biological stuff.

Correct, because pretending to be the opposite sex that you are requires you to deny reality. Human biology is a constant reminder of that reality, though. So people who believe in transgender ideology often feel threatened by biology, because their beliefs require them to deny reality and the existence of human biology challenges that.

I remembered when back then we learnt the word "they", it was a polite form of saying he/she. So I used to use "they" to indirectly say something somebody did without directly calling them out lol. Now it has political meanings, so I don't use it much. Also not sure if it's considered grammatically correct from what I learnt...
