There can absolutely be trans people with restrictive ideas about what it means to be a man or a woman. It would be more surprising if there weren't, given that we live in a society inundated with restrictive ideas about what it means to be a woman.

That obviously does not undercut the legitimacy of trans identities in any way.

If we had more boys who feel comfortable wearing dresses and girls who are OK being tomboys, we would have much less nonbinary people or gender navel gazing in general.

But I think we have a lot of boys in the US who are doing things their gender claims they're not allowed to do, and girls also. And that's been a thing for years - I lived in a very conservative part of the deep south in the 90's, a lot of my peers pointed to me when they wanted to argue with their parents that girls DID do any number of things they were being told that girls didn't do (like have really short hair and pick up slugs and love dinosaurs), and two of my best friends were boys who wanted to grow up to be a dancer and a chef, because they were genuinely passionate about cooking and dancing. We all had to push back against random adults who harassed us and tried to scare us into line by pretending that not LOOKING and ACTING like their idea of a boy or a girl made us the opposite of what we said we were, if interrogated, but our parents shielded us from being outright forced to conform. And it seems like the whole gender-neoword-identity-mountain has to try to erase the piles of people with experiences like mine in order to claim that they "speak" for poor, defenseless kids who don't conform to restrictive expectations feminism was challenging when my mother was in university. As if none of that ever happened. But I was friends with boys who were aspiring artists in elementary school and girls who grew up to be lawyers and all the rest all this time. I've been happily married to a woman for half a decade. I get into so many fewer (literal, physical) fights as an adult than I did as a kid. It's become so much less dangerous and the social fallout so much less disastrous to be gay. And yet, we have this ideology now that's trying to tell us that the only hope for gender non-conforming people to find peace or happiness is invasive medicalization. And that's being presented as something left-wing people are morally deficient if they don't automatically endorse.
