      A human doesn’t have to cut any pieces off or inject any chemicals to be transgender.

      Were it a “curious, socratic style question” you wouldn’t have framed your question with loaded terminology designed to make trans people sound unreasonable and fake.

      True. I do I think a human could internally decide to be trans, make any or no changes, declare it to others and still be valid as trans. Humans just really value certain observable indicators to tell what’s going on. There’s some kind of interesting metaphor about how humans being this way gives us a lot of interesting freedom to express ourselves but also limits us in many ways overlaid with what the tree is doing.
