Nowhere GirlThe widespread assumption that trans gender identities are inherently sexual whereas cis identities are not, despite the fact trans identities tend to arise at the same childhood age and before any form of sexual interest or development occurs, is testament to cis-het people's insistence that theirs are the only "natural" identities and everybody else's are "fetishes," as well as their tendency to view gender in inherently sexual terms due to patriarchal programming.
This is also why cis people tend to disbelieve in the existence of trans children: because they see trans identities as inherently sexual, they believe they must then be "imposed" on children.
The idea that trans kids have a gender identity as natural and real as a cis person's simply does not compute to people who have been conditioned to view everything about gender in sexualized terms.
