If it's possible for a man to be trapped in a woman's body and vice versa then it should be possible for people in general to be trapped inside the wrong body via Transrace,etc.

Exactly! Really, what I think so much of the trans/ non binary craze boils down to, “but I’m a beautiful snowflake who was born into this ugly body!” But instead of saying, “hey, I can work out, take care of my body, play a sport, go out and learn some hobbies, etc” they sit and think, “I must just be a different kind of special! I’m actually a gorgeous woman trapped in this obese, smelly, inept man!” Or vice versa… or even worse, “I’m actually NEITHER man or woman! I’m just that special!! And classically attractive people need to make themselves available to ME!”

So much of it seems to be cope for the fact that they aren’t sexually attractive to others, but instead of taking the initiative, they expect everyone else to bend over backwards for them instead.

I don't know about yaoi-obsessed TM, but this does seem to a huge thing amongst TW. So many of them seem to clearly feel they failed at manhood so they'll just be the lesser woman then. And none of them pass so they went from being an average dude that probably could have gotten really good at something (doesn't have to be anything specific, but competence in general is super sexy), focused on acquiring wealth, or done anything else in the world that men are awesome at - to a Buffalo Bill-esque creep who frightens away any woman with a half-developed spidey sense.

I read a good post when TiA was on Reddit that hearing the well-meaning advice " 'you' is good enough!" (and nothing else) has a connection to being an (actual) incel/sex pest

especially without any alternative, it makes a 20yo much angrier at a rejection ("it was ME she rejected") and likelier to see sex as "something a woman gives a man" rather than the healthier approaches of even mild exercise/hygiene/interests beyond weeb consumerism (heck, a good mangaka takes references from all over the place--mythology, pirates, anthropology, warfare, occult history, obscure avant-garde literature)

plus the colleges overcompensate for the sneaks and creeps by insisting "if she doesn't roll backwards on her heels the moment you ask, never speak to that unapproachable goddess again"
