I think there's a gulf between

  • "I feel like I'm trapped in the wrong body and I want to change that"

And

  • "I feel like a second class citizen living in an oppressive patriarchy, and I would happily discard my current gender if it gave me more wealth and status"

Definitely possible to feel both. But the latter is a very TERFy expression of gender exclusion, while the former is a product of personal introspection.

I might even go so far as to categorize the second kind of person as gender fluid.

Not quite. Being born AFAB is a rough experience in general, so it's a common feeling to wish you had more power. And well... men have more power

So why don't all women just transition? Trans men do it, but cis women don't. I think it's because gender dysphoria is a worse than misogyny. Trans women transition and are happy with the decision because the trade is worth it.

I mean, I entirely agree. I'm just adding some perspective as to why some cis women make these sorts of statements
