But I was under the impression that part of transitioning was the conscious decision to make a change in line with self perception. I can’t help but think non human animals wouldn’t experience that.
Ah, yeah we can’t really know. Sequential hermaphrodism in chordates however is sometimes used to argue that biological sex isn’t as stable of a construct as some prefer to act like it is, in a similar way to how intersex people are used to express how it isn’t as binary of a concept as culture would have you believe.
Fair, but you also have to keep in mind that this isn’t any of the rigorous argumentation. This is symbols and discussions with grandma level argumentation.
It’s perfectly cis for a male seahorse to give birth. That said, a quick search told me they also change sexes over the course of their life so…

I’m not sure you can really apply the biology of sea horses to humans, though.
Like, just because some reptiles can regenerate tails doesn’t mean humans regenerating limbs is natural.

I have had some success with it. Doubt the guy changed his views, but he stopped using that argument.
