people that don't care anything for what others think of them are sociopaths,
but I find most people who claim it are liars who are in reality acutely aware and concerned about how they're perceived and their status, and claiming it is just another bit of self-aggrandising.
but as to transgender, i thought it went a bit deeper than simply delight at cross-dressing and they were after the (debatable) experience of being treated as a woman. hence all the insistence on pronouns and what not. maybe I'm wrong

"a person with sociopathy (a non-clinical term now commonly called antisocial personality disorder) disregards the wishes, rights, and feelings of others"

No, sociopathy is an inability to empathise.
They have fewer 'mirror' neurons which activate when neurotypical people view others.
Whether someone cares about what others think is different, asocial or perhaps the very introverted people might pay little attention.

it's not a clinical term, so it's definition is rubbery
but I'll concede totally disregarding the opinion of others is not the only criteria that makes someone a sociopath, lack of empathy, manipulation, can be part of it too.
