First off, you are equating Otherkin with Fictionkin. And even with your attempt at brushing that off, I don't see the difference. Why can't I believe that I'm actually a cat? If bodies don't matter, after all, and it's my feelings that are really important, and everyone knows cats are a real thing. How is that different than being genderqueer?

Onto your second point, many, or most non-trans people don't actually self-identify as man/woman beyond the basic necessities? Most people don't spend all day obsessing about their sex/gender. I don't have strong identity as a woman, and don't feel that defines me as a person. But I'm also fine with being a woman. It's my body, I don't feel any dysphoria with it, it's what my body looks like. I'm a woman. I have no desire to go through surgery to become to opposite sex. If I were transformed into a guy, fine, I'll live my life like that. That doesn't mean genderqueer. That means, person who doesn't care about their gender overmuch.

Thirdly, gender and sex are both biological categories, and social ideas. But they are social ideas only loosely speaking - since you're right, male and female don't mean anything if we separate them from sex. It is about self-identity, in addition to societal practicalities and language. Which is why if you want to "live as the other sex", that's fine, because you're switching existing categories. Making up new categories isn't useful to anyone, and it's not useful to you, either, because "man" and "woman" mean nothing when separated from sex. Absolutely nothing - only what you yourself make of them. You calling yourself "nonbinary" is utterly meaningless unless you are intersex (or say, get surgeries alter your body to be intersex).

It seems like this desire to "transcend gender" because self-identity is just too "complex" for one mold or the other is missing the point that gender is meaningless. Again, it's one thing to identify how you feel comfortable, go for it. But it's not a useful category to try to have others put you in.
