NTA but gender identity isn't in the realm of science, it's philosophy
Modern progressives have completely forgotten where the theories predating gender identity came from (early radical feminism --> gender nonconformism --> performative theory of gender, etc.)
Somewhere at the start of the 21st century queer philosophy stagnated and a politically charged hugbox took its place because of the culture war. None of the troons you talk to understand the basics of social constructivism as a philosophical point, and they rely instead on these "peer-reviewed studies". The "studies" you're thinking of virtually all relate to mental health prognosis of gender-affirming care, which is unrelated. The fact that validating how somebody feels makes them happier doesn't actually prove any insane philosophical frameworks about gender.
