No, that doesn’t make me think you’re a bigot, although it’s a “slippery slope”. It makes me think you’ve only consumed information from primarily sources who are opposed to the very idea of transgenderism, and have possibly never had a deep conversation with a trans person about what their life is like
People have all sorts of internal experiences. Perhaps they hear voices that aren’t there. Perhaps they believe that they were some reincarnated historical figure. I’ve even known someone who went around telling people that they were a descendant of some billionaire family (they weren’t).
It’s not reality just because it’s in your head.
It’s fine to pretend you’re something or someone else. But it’s a dysfunctional mental illness if you can’t distinguish reality from fantasy.
