As they say: there's a lot to unpack here... but let's just throw away the entire suitcase.

The entire idea of being trans and "born in the wrong body" is bioessentialist though. Their whole fucking movement is about how being trans is an innate and unchangeable part of who they are. That's text book bioessentialism.

being trans is an innate and unchangeable part of who they are.

Their own ideology doesn't make sense no matter how you slice it. If "being trans" is innate and unchangeable then why do you need surgery and drugs to "become more trans", being gay doesn't require anything besides being exclusively same-sex attracted. And what does it mean to "be born in the wrong body" when "trans people don't owe society transition or gender nonconformity" and "a penis can be a female sex organ and men can give birth", at that point what is the purpose of transitioning when it has nothing to do with someone's transness?!
