 I believe trans people are pressured to assimilate simply because people do not think if the existence of a third or fourth gender, or of infinite genders. Our society as a whole has had trouble accepting that some people are born into abody that doesn’t match the gender they feel comfortable as. The notion of a mismatched biological sex and a psychological gender is much easier for peopleto accept than for someone to identify not as any particular gender at all. Someone who “blends” genders is what seems to confuse and upset people (I do believe this is quickly changing, especially with our generation).

As a more general answer, tranliness would be a new idea, and new ideas take time for society as a whole to accept. Perhaps in the future identifying as trans will be considered as “normal” as choosing male or female.
