Is gender identity a choice?

That makes no sense.

There is no pretending.

Biological sex and gender are separate yet related.

Gender refers to being male, female, or neuter. Beyond that, the recent redefinition--and that's what it is--tries to justify a whole plethora of mental illnesses and fetishes as normal.

What Is The Difference Between Sex and Gender

Sex refers to biological differences (chromosomal, hormonal, reproductive), whereas gender refers to socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities, and expectations associated with femininity and masculinity.

We tend to use the words “sex” and “gender” interchangeably, but they are in fact two different concepts. For many, their sex and gender are aligned, but for others, they are not.

Sex refers to biological differences (chromosomal, hormonal, reproductive), whereas gender refers to socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities, and expectations associated with femininity and masculinity.

It is not a mental illness. Trans people KNOW their biological sexes. Hence the term "transgender".

Yes, transgenderism is a mental illness. Normal, sane people don't undergo cosmetic surgery, genital mutilation, and pretend to be what they are not, nor do they have a near 50% suicide rate.

That all applies to transgenders. They have serious mental issues that need to be dealt with not coddled and encouraged.
 
Many do not have sex change operations.

There is no encouragement. Transgender people have identified as the opposite gender at a young age without any prompting.

Is Gender Dysphoria a Mental Illness?
The classification of gender dysphoria has evolved over time. In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), gender dysphoria is listed as a mental health diagnosis, but it is not considered a “mental illness” in the traditional sense.

The inclusion of gender dysphoria in the DSM-5 serves a practical purpose: it provides a framework for understanding the emotional and psychological challenges that some individuals face and ensures access to necessary medical care, such as hormone therapy or gender-affirming surgeries.

Importantly, gender dysphoria is not seen as a pathological condition. The focus of treatment is not to “cure” someone of their gender identity but to alleviate the distress they experience due to societal pressures or physical incongruence.

Correct! WHY not if or WHO it should matter to the rest of us. Telling me it matters to some people is an answer but it's a nonsensical one to the question.

It matters to busybodies, pinheaded morons and self-righteous assholes. The rest of us are busy with our own lives instead of minding the lives of others.
