From what I can tell from the comments (it is really hard to tell) the other ones are all dealing with some far future philosophical problem that has absolutely nothing to do with our current trans cohort

If you put a person with strictly male socialization, and a strictly male set of life experiences into an unquestionably female body, do you have a woman, or do you have a man with a problem?

What if we actually find souls, we can turn people into their fursonas in real life, and we figure out how to teleport people? We don't know, therefore my arm sausage is in fact actually a penis and your crotch hole is actually a vagina

Don't even get me started on how utterly vague the above statement is. Could be souls, could be brain transplant, could be just memory, could be super futuristic genetic technology- how this is achieved does in fact matter very, very much. And the two options provided as answers are intended to railroad.

I find these thought experiments to be absolute nonsense.

When I was a kid and was discussing abortion, a girl asked me "how would you feel if your parents had aborted you?" and to this day, I think it's a nonsense question. I wouldn't feel anything because I wouldn't be alive.

It's the same with the "but what if you woke up in a different body" gotcha TRAs use. It's not possible, so the question is meaningless.

I saw something attributed to Vivienne Musk a few days ago where he allegedly lamented his parents choosing a male embryo via IVF. And, it's like, if his father weren't so obsessed with having mostly, or exclusively, sons, and he and Vivienne's mother had chosen a female embryo instead, then Vivienne Musk would not exist. A daughter, i.e. an actual female, would exist instead of him.

Exactly this.
