Right. But this is a book about trans people, told from their perspective. Trans people do not see themselves as "x gender pretending to be y gender" you are correct that cis people may see them that way, but writing a trans character that way is completely misunderstanding the experience of trans people. The very thing this book is trying to portray.

I think trans people are still people and there is no one way they view them selves.

Right. But seeing yourself as the gender of your gender identity rather than the gender of your biology, is what being trans is. No trans person sees themselves as not that, otherwise they wouldn't be trans
