I have myself been struck by the notion that the trans community repeats wider society's notions of gender and sex rather than subverting them.*

Take the gender binary, for example; many say that they exist outside it or in between it - this repeats the notion that the gender binary exists in the first place.

*As a caveat, when I say this I mean that some parts of said community sometimes express these things - as is the case with any group/discourse, we can never truly say "these people do/say/are".
