actual gender
Trans people are born trans and are biologically the get they identify as.
Here are a number of studies that show the biological reality of transgender people. It’s important to note that although some of these studies suggest causation (ie, HOW a person is born transgender) we can’t know if there’s more than one cause, and therefore using any one test to see if somebody is “biologically trans” is impossible.
Sex vs Gender and the role of the SRY gene specifically (as opposed to the Y chromosome generally) in the development of each, as well as the possible role of AR (androgen receptor) gene www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6505576/
A correlation is found between AR allele repeat length and a person being transgender www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3402034/

So no, you’ve got it backwards: they’re being forced to turn in their id with their actual gender in exchange for one with the incorrect gender marker.

No, with the incorrect one.
