Always up for this. If gender ID is trivial/chosen (I don't believe it is), then stop raising female children as girls. Transition yourself.

No logical reason not to. If gender is socially constructed only and being trans is a choice (it's not), then do it rather than stop others.

But if you mean trans people don't transition to avoid sex discrimination, I agree.
