The thing about people saying transphobes are "biology deniers" is that there really is not scientific backing for transgenderism, because there is no scientific backing for gender itself.
Gender is just the set of roles a culture associates with one sex. There is no factor in a woman's brain that makes her want to wear pretty dresses and makeup, just as there is no factor in a man's brain that makes him want to cut his hair short and mow the lawn. What people in this thread have demonstrated over and over again is that they want to have the female gender roles, which, funnily enough, are not restricted to the female sex.
Transgerism is fundamentally very sexist because it implies that the gender roles determine whether you are male or female. If a man likes stereotypically "girly" things it means he's an egg, and if he decides the wants to grow his hair out and wear skirts that means he's a woman. The problem with this ideology is that it implies that people who do not follow these rigid gender roles, ie. most cis people in one way or another, are "lesser" members of their own sex now. If being a girl is determined by acting girly, than what does that make of the girl who decides she wants to play sports, or study STEM, or get a buzzcut?
Transgender ideology tries to confront this problem with self-determination. Supposedly, gender is determined not by sex, not by gender roles, but by simply saying you are that gender. Theoretically, if I were to go to some transgender acquaintances and tell them I was a man they would agree that I am, indeed a man for no other reason than I said so. The thing is, not even transgender people fully believe in self-determination. If self-determination was taken seriously we would have swathes of transgender people applauding Zuby for breaking the women's deadlift reccord, and Trisha Paytas coming out as male would have been met with support instead of mockery. Even someone like Yaniv, who does actually make a (failing) attempt to present as a women has been called a "fake" transgender, because when transgender people see how flawed of a system self-determination is even they can't continue supporting it.
All in all, there is nothing scientific about transgenderism. It is the cultural product of gender roles and fetishization of the opposite sex. It's only scientific in the same way body dismorphia is, as a mental illness that should be treated with therapy rather than surgery.
