The way I understand it, and I'm willing to accept I'm wrong, is that being transgender is supposed to be like this:

The state of "being" trans is the entire process, from one end to the other. In this case, the person starts as a cis male, is a transgender woman, then ends up (ideally) a post-transition "cis" woman (pretend it's a perfect world.) By the end of the process, they have transitioned from being cisgender in one sex to being cisgender in another sex.
However, SJWs see it more like this:

Being trans is not being in any part of a process of transitioning, rather, it's a third identity separate from male or female. That's how you end up with people being genderqueer, non-binary, or non-dysphoric but still "trans," they acknowledge "transgender" as a wholly different thing from male or female.
Their identity politics also favors people who, traditionally, have not had a privilege in one aspect or another, moreso if they have multiple axes of disadvantage. You combine this with the conflation of gender roles and gender identity, and you have thousands of people who exploit it for the right to be listened to and cared about. So they identify as "trans" to pretend they've never benefited from being cisgender. That way they don't have to accept responsibility or flagellate themselves the way they demand cisgender people do. It's how they keep themselves internally consistent. ("Cis people should suffer, but I'm cis and don't want to suffer, so I'm trans now.")
Which is why they draw Giorno with a binder and Alexander Hamilton as a Hatsune Miku-loving furry trans weeb. They don't want their favorite characters to suffer, so they trans them up to make them better people.
Until Social Justice has a way to atone for the original sins of privilege, it's gonna keep being like this.![:\](/styles/custom/emotes/svg/chris-confused.svg "Confused :\")
Man, I agree with ALL of this. To be honest, this makes me want to use the distinction of "transsexual" and "transgender" because what you said makes the big difference.
(There's also I kinda respect more one over the other because they have the actual medical condition rather than just ""identity"" for the sake of it)

I literally thought this was genderbent Trish for a second.
