this is not an issue if you have a postmodernist understanding of gender, which most trans people (myself included) subscribe to.

No, that's an impression people in your position create by silencing those who disagree. Which is exactly the issue.

The reason xenogenders and transgender genders are not the same is because one is based on our dimorphic sexual physicality, and the other is based on metaphysical invention. It's the whole reason that the attack helicopter meme has no actual power -- because humans are not and have never been "part helicopter" but we are part male and female.

So you're not only transmedicalist, but somehow also a gender essentialist?
