Don't people refer to this as "transmedicalism" or "truscum"? In addition, why do many transgender people act more similarly to their agab? (Eg, some trans women act like men, some trans men act like women)

    No, transmedicalism is the belief that somebody isn't actually trans unless they meet certain medical criteria. I'm saying the opposite: that the lack of any particular medical criteria can't be used to invalidate somebody being trans.

    As for your second question, how a person behaves is a matter of nurture more than nature, but it's also deeply engrained from a very early age. Even those trans people who put the effort in to overcoming this socialization can have old habits they struggle to get rid of.
