QT/Transmed: Where does gender (identity and roles) come from?

Opinions on the "twin studies" of gender identity?
All (mainly QT): If socialization is not a large factor than what causes drastically elevated levels of violence and sociopathic behavior in human males vs. human females?
QT oriented question but anyone can comment: How much of a choice do we have over our gender identity (assuming for the sake of argument that gender identity exists in all people)?
QT but all can comment - How would you refute the argument that The phrase "transwomen are women" presupposes that there is a cultural role for women to fill?
Both: Do you think increasing time on the internet has contributed to more people identifying themselves as trans/nb etc.?
Gender Identity and history: Should we be free to assume GNC historical figures or trans or non-binary?
What principles would you say the opposing side to you in this debate holds? How would you steelman their main position?
William Shatner is sort of getting "peak trans'ed" on Twitter and it is weird to watch. Is it significant to the debate?
Interesting meta article questioning whether this kind of debate is even possible. Do you agree?

"There is no real feminism that does not have at its heart the tempering discipline of sex-class consciousness: knowing that women share a common condition as a class, like it or not."—Andrea Dworkin Right-Wing Women (1983)"
Is trans ideology poisoned at the root and inherently misogynistic and at odds with feminism? An interesting article from Dr. Em goes back 50 years to trace the origins of problems we still clearly see today in the TRA movement.
(Mostly for QT but anyone can answer): If "woman" is an identity then wouldn't it follow that feminist woman who don't want to be oppressed by gender roles should just all identify as transmen/NB?
