I tend to think it's either because they were groomed into it, or because they realize it doesn't work as well as they'd been told and they end up as a mixed mess rather than the opposite sex. I'm sure some of them would have been happy if they could change sexes for real. Others had no issues with their birth sex until society said they have to be a certain way.

Honestly, it'd be more likely because in modern echo chamber culture, people are through the looking glass with their weird beliefs.

Before, if someone told someone it was stupid, they'd keep it hidden- now there's an echo chamber to be their hugbox and make sure their belief is right.

That turns weird beliefs into a religious fervor and a willingness to kick out anyone who doesn't believe what they believe...

...but now, these beliefs somehow goes further than religion or cults. At least with religion or a cult there's a chance you find out something's wrong and leave the group over it. Now, people get into their belief structure too deep, and KNOW apostates are hated more than non-believers, that when every single straw of truth is taken away and they know damn well their belief is wrong, the person will choose to be stubborn for the sake of being stubborn. They know that they're wrong, but to change your mind and be right means that they let you WIN- and they'd rather be wrong than admit that you won.
