Why does someone's gender identity have more authority than biological sex?

It’s a religious belief that grants huge amounts of clout. Back when no one gave a shit, pre-Equal Marriage, there were no TRAs and everyone kinda pitied the poor guy who thought he was a woman (and he did the decent thing and tried to blend into the background and not cause any trouble).
Then along came the gay rights organisations with a choice as to whether to pivot to campaigns for gay rights in non-western countries or choosing another demographic completely…they took the easy, less defenestrationy option.
Add into this the ascendancy of the Critical Studies (Gender, Race, Queer, Women’s etc) and the swarm of graduates of said courses infiltrating corporate HR departments and creating posts such as DEI manager and you have the perfect storm for the wave of lunacy to sweep through corporate, government, education, media and politics.
The final piece of the puzzle was social media and the willingness of people to take part in pile-ons.
Add these factors together and you get fucking Eddie Izzard using a women’s toilet and acting like it’s the sanest shit in the world.

Well, there was likely an additional part of this- the "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" factor. Identifying as trans/nb was the perfect way for a beaten down straight white man who was tired of fighting people who decided he was literally, inherently evil because he was born straight, white, and male to merely get to exist. You can't exactly become a different race, you would have to actively try to sleep with men to not be straight...but if you claim to be trans/nb? You don't have to change anything else about yourself and you instantly soar to the top of Oppression Olympics, and everyone does your bidding/lets you have revenge on the people who slighted you.

a beaten down straight white man ... would have to actively try to sleep with men
Even then, the discourse surrounding "gay white men" is pretty toxic.
(not entirely undeservedly, in my opinion, I should add. But just like the also-deserved criticism of professional white feminists, it ends up getting hijacked by this weird determinism and demands for self-flagellation from the worst non-white Cluster-B narcissists.)

ironically the radfems' second-to-last target before they got expelled from Tumblr's puckering circle of righteousness was unfabulous gay men, for being "doubly patriarchal" (1. man but also 2. didn't have any womyn around to supervise them, iirc)
THEN they pissed on the third rail and got ejected, starting an all-for-all purge where even left-handedness could be weaponized in the fight for clout
