gate keepers are no better at telling who is misguided than anyone else
I don't think people see it as the easy way out, they see it as a hard process that applies to them. The degree to which they view gender as rigid or flexible seems to reflect their cultural history. I suspect that, the more rigid their sense of gender the more likely they are to see non-compliance as trans-sex behaviour
