I think self-delusion is rather strong; but there could be elements of self-diagnosing involved. I think the safest position to take is simply wait and see. There's just too much noise in the system currently.
p.s. That said I do think the only antidote humanity has against delusion is conversation—both with society and with reality itself. My biggest disagreement with gender politics is the way in which experiences are made private and unquestionable. They're removing the social aspect from social construct, in favor of a solipsistic and personal construct. I think this is an unfortunate overcorrection. Children develop gender in conversation with the world; they bounce ideas back and forth between peers and parents until they develop a coherent picture of their internal experiences. I'm not a clinical psychologist, but I wouldnt be surprised if developing a gender identity in isolation was not only impossible, but unhealthy.
