OK, fair enough. I would ask you explain to me then, if gender is not innate, how a trans person knows their gender is not that normally associated with their biology ? Are you implying trans people learn to be trans after birth and are not born that way at all ?

Why would you assume there's just one way for a person to become trans? My belief is: People are individuals who should be allowed to them speak for themselves and be in charge of their own lives. There's no benefit in forcing simplistic explanations on complex phenomena.

So wait ... some people become trans ... they aren’t just trans to start with? So can they become not trans ? Is conversion therapy something that might work then ? Is affirmation whatever maybe not the best way to handle trans kids ?

I'm not following you.

OK, You said "just one way .. to become trans?" If you can "become trans", then surely you can un-become trans... No ? That also implies being trans is a choice you can make rather than a thing you are. I'm not sure TRA supporters would agree with you there.

You're honestly not making any sense. Would "If you can "become old" then surely you can "become young" make sense? You're taking wild leaps that aren't building on anything, and I can't follow you at all, sorry.

It really very simple. You said a person can "become trans". The literal meaning of that phrase is that a person is at one point not trans, and then is. Are you saying it's a one way trip? You can "become trans", but you cannot "become not trans"?

I'm saying you're not making sense. You're apparently trying to read something into a phrase that just isn't there. Some things change and can change back, other things change and can never change back, and there's nothing in the phrase "become x" that indicates which one x is.
