Like, for 99.9% of humanity? How common is it to question your gender? For the vast majority of humanity the question doesn’t come up just like the questions “are my legs fake” doesn’t come up. Surely those people are also ok to be fine with whatever? It’s ok to be man or woman and be heterosexual, too, right? Just checking.
This is a straight up childish answer. It’s basically “boooo! you dumb!”, what is that? Are you incapable of having a civil argument or do you simply refuse to have one?
Have I said anything irrational or hateful or incomprehensible?
For all of us we didn’t know there was a choice, we were all infants at the time the choice was made. We were still figuring out which amorphous blob gives us the milk.
This is why others decide on sex for us through observation. That much is sensible enough, infants are not great at that kind of thing. But we’re discovering more and more that this is an imperfect system and that more often than we realized the answer is not straight forward or in fact that our conclusions are sometimes incorrect even when it appears straight forward.
It’s just that the pressure to make the “correct” choice is fucking crazy.
I feel pressured to only ever present as a cisgendered heterosexual person regardless of whether that’s correct or not. The pressure is for LGBTQ+ people to simply disappear from public society. Correct has nothing to do with it.
To say that transgenderism is a choice is to argue that it’s not a result of anomalous brain development, and is instead an ordinary delusion, no different than believing you’re Jesus Christ. Which implies than gender-affirming care is harmful.
Why would someone not be able to choose their gender. Gender is a social construct. Of course people can choose. People can choose to be gay too, if they want. People have free will, don’t they? I mean by your logic, why wouldn’t you believe someone telling you that they were Jesus Christ?
That’s pretty much how it already works. It’s just that the pressure to make the “correct” choice is fucking crazy.

Consider not posting in the future. Thanks.

I suspect that’s not what you meant.

If homosexuality were a choice, I’d make it.
Literally nothing is stopping you.
