Sorry, but I *really* don't think that's what they're saying here.
People's perceptions of someone don't necessarily align well with internal identity. We trans people know that better than most, I would argue. The way someone is treated growing up, and the resources and encouragement they may have been offered does NOT invalidate their identity. I can hold that I am a woman, *and* that others' perceptions of me growing up have shaped which interests of mine they nurtured. Many cis women do not get the same opportunities that I have, *not* because of my identity, the validity thereof, or their identity, but because of others' perceptions and their sexist notions.
To me, it is a far stretch to go from pointing out that « society largely has sexist attitudes which are applied based on bigoted people's perceptions of others » to « trans women are men because they were raised as such. » Actually, these are diametrically opposed points in my view.
