These men are conflating hight with masculinity.
These men are seeking medical care to affirm their gender.
You don't need to be trans to participate in gender affirming activities.
Gender is not a trans specific phenomenon.
Associating stuff with gender is not a trans specific phenomenon.
People doing the stuff they associate with their gender, to feel more confident and comfortable within their gender, is gender affirming activity.
