Wait what's panloveual

it means gender/love plays no role in your decision of "do i wanna do the nasties with this person"
it's a little broader than biloveual as it includes transgender/transloveual

What do the doctors look for? Is there a chemical imbalance in the body? Like a man is producing far more estrogen then what is normal or whatever? And if so wouldn't it be easier and less dangerous for them to take medication so that they are comfortable with the gender they really have?

it's differences in how the brain is wired
we know there's a difference, we can see it on brain scans, it just hasn't been pinned down what exactly is causing it or how these differences work together to create that sense of "I don't belong." It's a very complex condition that for the most part, is unique to individuals in exactly how it forms and manifests itself, although there is that general sense of for example "I'm not a female. I don't belong."

There is no medication that is known to be anywhere near 100% effective for it. All people who want to actually make a transition are first put through a psychologist so they can tell if it can be solved through other means, like anti-depressants or psychological therapy. If that doesn't work then the best treatment option is a transition, which has a very high success rate (Success being that they're comfortable and happy with their body)

Isn't it illegal to put spyware and malware in a program? Where is the source of this?

they say it's for "complying with law enforcement and providing better service to users" which is a legal thing to do if you put it in your privacy policy (which they have, but nobody reads them)

basically they give any government agency access to PC files and also collect other personally identifying data for marketing, targeted advertising, and improving the OS.

It indeed has spyware and malware. Just look up a tutorial how to remove the win 10 spies and you should be good.

there are some that cant be disabled unfortunately
if you don't want a backdoor in your PC you just really shouldn't upgrade lol

Not a rule, but a norm. It's really a matter of point of view.

Also I'm fairly certain that the aggressiveness in males is intended primarily for mating. I can cite a source if needed.

When you get right down to it, a norm and a probability are really the same thing.
When something is "normal," all that means is that it's generally the most likely outcome. In other words, a higher probability.
People have different levels of aggression and all sorts of other emotions and tenancies solely based on this probability due to very complex, interwinding causes things like conditions in the womb, brain chemistry, genetics, conditions during infancy and early childhood, brain structure, and so on.

It isn't some sort of trick or masking/internalizing of your "male aggression," people genuinely fall out of norms based on how their bodies physically work. Instincts don't dominate the human mind like they may once have in the past anymore. And this is what's happened with people who have gender dysphoria, they've fallen so far outside the norm by sheer luck of the draw that their brain is wired to be uncomfortable with how they are. It's not a simple condition of course, but that's the gist of it.

The males that don't experience that instinct are either defective or haven't had the chance to exercise the need to fight in their life.

The fight/flight reaction is not exclusive to males, and even then, how males react to these situations differs drastically between people. You might have one which gets enraged and fights and another who runs away in fear. That's why it's called a "fight or flight" reaction. So again, it's a probability, not a rule.

Men are biologically hardwired to like punching stuff
Men tend to be more violent ("society xdddddd")

stuff like that

They're not though. If you take the average of all males, there's a higher probability, but it's just a probability. It doesn't apply at all to individuals. You can't say "Men as a whole have a biological instinct to kill things for food, so this random dude over here must have that instinct too." Sure, it's slightly more likely, but that doesn't make it true. Eveyone's different in drastic ways.
