Another interpretation is that “trans identity” is a symptom of a diseased mind and culture, whereas a normal and healthy understanding of gender would understand that it’s simply the correct cultural roles assigned to each sex—either as part of a Schelling point necessitated by our need for roles and divisions of duty, or as part of inherent biological differences.
Until recently, there were a lot of trans people who had this interpretation of gender and the associated world-view, but just thought their minds had their identified gender’s biological characteristics so they fit better there. See “Harry Benjamin Syndrome”. Though I’ll warn you that it mostly fell out of favor before the modern internet, so there isn’t much information on it online.
