Thank you for the thoughtful response. I have no agenda here. I have one trans friend (that I know of). After seeing the topic on Rogan's podcast I did some quick searching online and it opened up a few lines of thought I hadn't considered or wasn't aware of.

Edit: added "(that I know of)" to acknowledge my limited knowledge of my friend's gender or sexuality.

Rogan has been, at best, insensitive to trans people. Given the volume of people who hold agendas against trans people and trans rights and Rogan's willingness to host people without holding a critical eye to their opinions, I'd be very careful about using his podcast as a jumping off point to the topic. I'd really recommend reading the stories of trans people directly and engaging with the scientific community.
