If gender is a social construct then no one is "born" being or with a predisposition to being trans which a lot of people like to claim is true.
Your train of thought ends at "social constructs exist in their own sphere, where the underlying reality doesn't matter".
A social construct is just a wildly shared idea about an entity. Only because it is a social construct, doesn't mean that people can get different thoughts about themselves within the context of the social construct, based on their predisposition. (too complicated?)
If what gender someone identifies as is influenced by whether you have that Y-chromosome or the second X-chromosome, you also have to accept that there could be different underlying physical realities that lead to people later identifying as trans (a "trans-gene", maybe, or multiple trans-genes that come into play when the right environmental influences are there). Regardless of what 'wildly shared idea' about gender people have.
To make it easier:
What gender someone identifies as is obviously very dependent on their predisposition (as seen in the majority as cases - most people with a penis identify as male). If you accept that, you have to accept the possibilities of other predispositions existing that could later on lead to people identifying as trans.
