It's linked to poor motor skills and certain neurological disorders (which all happen to be caused by unusual prenatal hormones). The person doesn't respond to their biology in the right way. The key word to note there is biology. Not social roles, not gender, not personality.

But trans activists will only give you stereotypes. Because to them gender is a social construct and acknowledging biological differences is transphobic.

This is probably not something most people can comprehend without experiencing. That's why trying to draw awareness to it only results in a bunch of snowflakes flooding in because they don't understand and think it's about "diversity" and gender-nonconfirmity and identity, and then they just make it look stupid. Actually wanting to spread awareness in the first place is already a mistake, because for all who are afflicted this is a terrible disease to be treated and ignored as much as possible, not something to be celebrated. It's not an identity. Just like few cisgender people spend every waking moment thinking about gender. It's just not important. If someone does that, they probably don't have gender dysphoria, they have snowflake syndrome.

Well, not just snowflake syndrome, but "the most virulent believer is the new convert to a religion. Egg cracking is the telltale sign there.

If you REALLY asked one of those people, their answer would actually be "everyone is trans, they just don't know it yet!"

Yep, and "all cis people are bigots!".

There's not many people who are 100% typical of one gender in every aspect, if any at all. That doesn't make everyone non-binary, it's just normal variation. But they want everyone to be non-binary, kind of like how furries claim everyone is a furry for watching cartoons with animal characters in them.

People say 'gender' is the new word for personality.

It's worse. Gender is how you tell people the personality YOU THINK YOU HAVE and the nicknames YOU WANT, ignoring the fact that in most cases, personality and nicknames are judged by other people. If you have to tell people you have a type of personality, you probably are not.

Seeing as most of their gender is never "I am an insufferable git who takes literally everything you do including nothing as a personal slight against me", this is why they fail.

THIS. Somehow, it's been decided that the claim of "trans-ness" automatically makes you special-- meaning interesting, compelling, attractive, generally exceptional, etc.-- and everyone else is now obligated to perceive you as such. But that's not the way this works, at all. "Specialness" of this kind, like beauty, exists in the eye of the beholder. You know that you're interesting, etc., only if people keep telling you so (implicitly and even explicitly) through their reactions. It's not something you can command of them: "I hereby order you to find me special!" And proclaiming that you've based your identity on a profoundly-regressive, cruel (responsible for more human misery than anything else we've ever devised), stupid ideology like "gender" sure does nothing to prove your OH SO ✨SPARKLY✨ credentials.
