I actually know a bit about transgenderism. My older brother transitioned in his 50s after a long military career.

Then presumably you know it's not about intersex.
Not in my brothers case but I'd never rule out the possibility. I have known 2 intersex people in the past, lots of trannies & gays because they are my commumnity
I, too, have known many gays and some trannies - mostly drag queens, if they count. I will continue to advocate that men stay out of women's spaces and sports. The experiences are not mutually exclusive.
Interesting...IMHO a trannie lives as a woman, often assisted by HRT and/or surgery of various kinds. Most of the drag queens I knew lived part of their lives as men (often very feminine) and just seem to love the art of performance. Having a genetic male compete w/females seems wrong.
Men have certainly coopted a number of identities, haven't they? Dressing as women for sexual thrill, dressing as women for performance, dressing as women due to gender dysphoria, and dressing as women when it suits them to enter women's spaces. And some men probably do all of the above.
It's not just the men. Some gay women do it too if it suits them.
What, dress like women?
No, dress like men.
