What are the best papers on the subject of transgenderism?

I'm more interested in metaphysical perspectives, i.e., arguments on the question of whether trans individuals are or aren't the gender they identify as. Not really looking for ethical/political perspectives.


Thanks!

Not a direct answer but might be worth mentioning. When the question is posed like this, I'd be careful in posing it as a question of metaphysics or only metaphysics, because there is also an epistemological question there that is very important for both metaphysical and political implications of gender; i.e., the question of whether a person can be mistaken about their gender, and how important a person's geniune word is to the epistemological justification of gender-claims about said person.
