The people who hold the view I am talking about believe this. I had an explicit discussion in class with my prof about this and got heckled by the other students. I argued that there are some actual differences between men and women, like that women are physically not as strong on average. Scientifically. The class got furious. Then I was like, screw it, I'm not throwing away my grade in this class for this. Otherwise I would have raised the issue with my class instead of here (it would have been a better group of people to address because clearly they hold this view more extremely, but it was a very dangerous environment to do so in and I have a habit). So the belief that gender is completely invalid is something that people hold while simultaneously while supporting transgender people, yes.
