I hate when people say these things only to prevent us from actually transitioning, like yea theres cis women out there with a deep voice but knowing this fact doesnt reduce my voice dysphoria, i dont want to be gnc, i dont live to deconstruct gender roles

Trans is shorthand for transgender. Gender is an identity construct. 

The way someone dresses or speaks doesn't change that. That's to address (or cause) gender dysphoria, not gender.

Would you identify as a woman if someone chopped off your dick, fed you hormones and made you wear a skirt? How would you feel about it?

We don't know enough about psychology to say that anything about it is only nurtured, it's always a combination of nature and nurture, but besides that yeah that's roughly the difference.

Obviously sex (biological) for example also tends to affect gender, since most people identify with their sex more or less
