That was unexpected, at least to me. Shreds the idea of a monolithic community.

Yep, absolutely. Buck Angel, one of the elders of the trans community, said something very similar just a few days ago (https://twitter.com/BuckAngel/status/1552840261268475905). There are plenty of trans people who acknowledge reality. They tend to be older though. They were trans at a point where it wasn't an ideology yet.
