Trans should refer just to transitioning women (ie those who are waiting for surgery to become a woman and who may be living life as a woman in the meantime). It doesn’t (and should never have) refer to pedos who ‘come out’ after getting caught with child pornography
But who is to say how anyone really identifies, especially once you have self ID? You can no longer pick and choose. That is one reason why it should be more difficult to achieve a gender recognition certificate, not easier.
Also, you should not be able to receive such a certificateuntil you've undergone the full surgery. Supposedly changing one's sex and as a resuly moving into the protected spaces of other groups is not, and should not be, like shopping for a new outfit. It should only happen if the individual cannot function otherwise.
And none of that addresses, either, than many young women have committed to, and undergone gender -re-assignment surgery, and taken hormones, and have then decided to detransition. The fact is that 'being trans' is not an actual material reality ( like sex or race) but dependent on internal perception and feeling.
