serious question: could this entire "gender" confusion be explained as the individual personalities? like female with masculine personality?

Unlikely. Connection to sexuality unclear but well evidenced. Also differences in white & grey matter distributions & genetic evidence

Of course, but not the same thing. Trans women found to have grey & white matter distributions closer to that of men than of women.

Also longer version of a receptor gene which inhibits testosterone.This is not just personality but specifically to do with gender/sexuality

Which is not to say that the intense focus on gender identity isn't leading ppl to associate all kinds of preferences & behaviours w/ gender

And rather than say 'my preferences are more similar to that common for the opposite sex in this area', some say 'I must be that gender.'

Even tho we overlap hugely & some studies have shown that only 8% of people are gender typical in every noted area of average difference.
