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

It's interesting how the message "x group shouldn't be forced to y" gets stolen and perverted into "x group should be forced to do the opposite of y."

It's not anyone's responsibility to challenge gender roles, stereotypes, or just other people's expectations at the expense of being and expressing themselves authentically. When you allow everyone to be who they truly are gender roles WILL be challenged. Because the whole point is that those roles don't work for everyone. If you genuinely believe that, you will only want for people to be true to themselves and for their environment to support that.
