Diogenes would be proud here
My first thought too.
To anyone unaware, plato defined man as "a featherless biped" so Diogenes brought a plucked chicken

I find the phrase “Born with the intention” in itself worthy of head-scratching.

There are cis women born without ovaries.
Thus Lea the bigot is disproven.

I'm having trouble finding anyone born with intention. Neither biology nor evolution have plans or intentions. We are fundamentally lipid based sacks of water.
Just being the devil's advocate here, but do instincts count as intentions? They're powerful and we're born with a lot of them. Like, we're all born to not starve, but also some birds are compelled to pick up large stones and roost them as eggs indefinitely, and others to perform migrations. "Born to survive and reproduce" is biology's motto but I think it goes beyond that to "born to do as others do". And if we extend that to gender roles, I can see how with the inherent variation in biology some people will be born to perform an alternative gender role just like I'm compelled to pursue the same gender.
