If the sex male/female doesn't matter, and you agree that the definition is fluid, and you don't need to conform to anything based on your genitals, then transsexuality is a mistake.

And if you need to transition, you accept the existence of the absolutes making you the very thing you swore to destroy.

Checkmate, month. Fight me.

low quality whataboutism, if everyone behaved indifferently to my gender presentation i wouldn't be in any rush to trans it

I get that you are just being pedantic for fun, but I feel like even if it is fluid, performing a gender (like performative gender as Judith Butler describes) is useful, and makes people happy. To transition from one general thing to another general thing (thereby changing your gender performativity) in a perception of gender where is all fluid can still be a valid option. So I choose neither the dark or the light side, I walk the balance of the force 😎.
