I think most of it is subconscious to the point where you wouldn't really consider it unless you found yourself "in the wrong body"

If you really believe this than it seems to me every person is their own gender since we are all unique which brings us back to: who cares what gender you are?
In my experience its used more as a justification. “You wouldn't understand cause youre not x gender” type stuff when in reality they probably dont understand either since as you said earlier its hard to articulate.
I read a reddit post the other day in which someone identified as a hermaphrodite and their explanation was because they looked androgynous. After a short mostly civil back and fourth we agreed to disagree. Ill have to see if i can still find aome of the justifications used
