Yeah, gender ideology is basically a nontheistic religion that centers around the concept of the "spiritual self" and how to attain that self.

That's an interesting, useful way to put it. I don't know enough about religion categorization to know whether it qualifies as a religion per se, but at least it seems like a set of spiritual beliefs.

You can really see it in how some TRA's act like coming out as trans is like being spiritually reborn, with the old self being "dead"

Yup, exactly.

To me it seems like they think that transitioning is a sort of rebirth, like they hate their 'dead name" and given the number of criminals who transition and then take great pains to distance themselves from their past they clearly view it as a spiritual rebirth as well. Like pointing out that someone doing a reading to children is actually a convicted felon is just ~rude~.
