for a couple reasons
>reliant on the gender binary having an actual material basis and not a social concept
>reinforces gender/biological essentialism in order to justify trans existence
> in order to be trans you must experience gender dysphoria and gender dysphoria is a symptom of your brain not aligning with your body, therefore being trans is no more than suffering from a condition where something went wrong during fetus development akin to birth defects
>being trans means you should meet an arbitrary requirement of wanting to do girly things/guyish things.
>trans acceptance relies on conforming to the expectations of a cisgender society, despite cisgender society not being designed around the existence of transgender individuals.
>In order to be trans you must be medically diagnosed with gender dysphoria and this is a requirement before you can be allowed to take things like HRT. But as said in the previous point, this definition is one decided by a society that does not recognize transgender life, in order to be trans your trans feelings must be legally, medically, and psychologically confirmed by cisgender society and cisgender people. Only when you meet their requirements (that can change depending on the attitude towards trans people) to be categorized as a trans individual can you say your personal trans feelings or thoughts make you trans
Transmedicalism is an increasingly outdated view of what being trans is, it relies of the idea of transness being some kind of abnormality that you suffer from which we know is just not true. A major problem with the theory is that understanding the medical side of a trans person to figure out "why" they're trans has always resulted in conflicting evidence (we'd know more if the nazis didn't set back the study of gender and sexuality back possibly centuries). It's trying to add pieces to a puzzle from an entirely different puzzle box.
