I'll reiterate my previous comment then: the existence of detransitioners proves that gender identity is mutable.

From reading the accounts of detransitioners, gender identity seems to be more like a political or religious belief than anything else - often stable for long periods of time, but given the right circumstances, can be changed.

Thanks, I think you're right, I'd misread what they said.

Some people detransition, i.e. their gender identity changes back to match their sex. This demonstrates that gender identity is not immutable.

For example, here's a fascinating piece by a recent detransitioner, about how, and why, her gender identity was male for several years: https://lacroicsz.substack.com/p/by-any-other-name

No, by their sex - just like everyone else.
