Tbh I would guess that the average cis person cares less about their gender than the average trans person. Not that plenty wouldn’t in fact feel quite tortured by a forced gender change, but strength of gender identity is a spectrum in itself, and to actively decide that you want to transition - whether or not you actually do it - already requires you to be somewhere on the stronger feeling side, so there’s some selection bias.
