I interpreted that as being: nobody actually assigns you a gender. Gender is a set of behavioral tendencies and expectations stereotypically associated with a particular sex. Yes, others impose expectations on you based on your sex/gender (ie. the role of man or woman), but the core of it is the behavioral tendencies (BEING a man or woman), and behavior is always chosen. The delusion then lies in believing that someone else "chose" your behavior, and you are correcting it by "transitioning." In reality, the trans person is deciding to change their own behavior; individuals are responsible for their own gender, and the only thing about their gender they can "correct" is their own previous mistakes in deviating from who they are.
