In my opinion, it's more like a religion than a regular non-contagious delusion. Gender is made up, just like souls, sin and so forth, so most of their beliefs aren't actually falsifiable. If you believe you can fly, you will be quickly proven wrong as soon as you jump off the roof, but if you believe you're "really a woman, despite having a penis", this doesn't actually mean anything so it can't be proven or disproven.

Being "really a woman, despite having a penis" is a contradiction, since by definition women don't have penises. That's why the TRAs have been trying to change the definition.

The act of believing it may not be falsifiable, that is, a man can say he believes he's a woman, and we can't prove he's bullshitting. But we can indeed disprove the factual accuracy of his belief by simply looking at his body, or failing that, giving him a chromosome test.
