Well, that's the point. In order for that system to work as described, you would need some kind of centralized authority to validate and enforce it. Once you've introduced that piece, there's no point using NFTs anymore - you can just use any kind of simpler and more efficient key/authentication mechanism.
So even if the corporations wanted to use such a system (which, to your point, they do not), it still wouldn't make sense to use NFTs for it.
It should also be mentioned that it was owned by GameStop, so back then it was not completely independent. Sounds like that aspect is different this time around; should be interesting to see how things unfold.
I suspect the responses you're getting stem from the original phrasing:
what’s the point, evolutionarily, to self destruct after reproducing
The question has an implicit claim that there IS a point, which people are rightly pointing out is not necessarily the case (as you have acknowledged). It certainly is an interesting question to wonder if there could be some benefit anyway, so it would probably have helped to frame it that way.
Not saying anyone is required to meet any kind of bar in the level of discourse in a casual online forum, just an observation of cause and effect, for what it's worth.
Ended up writing way more than I intended, so I'm editing this to add this introduction at the start. From the details of your post and comments, I'm not sure if you want to hear exclusively from people who have detransitioned, or if perspectives from people who are still transitioning are also welcome. I have not detransitioned, so if it's the former, just ignore my ramblings. 😅
I remember having feelings along these lines really early in transition, during the first few chaotic months after coming out of repression. At the time I was concerned about what it means to be a woman, how a woman is supposed to think about things and look at things, feel about things, etc., and how I was supposed to realign my habits and outlook to match that hypothetical ideal.
Ultimately, what I have come to understand and internalize (probably still ongoing, but I've come far) is that I've always been a woman, so the way a woman thinks and feels is the way I've always thought and felt, I just didn't know it. There's no need to change anything inherent to us - we had already arrived before we started. For me, what needed changing was to to try to unpack the various learned behaviors that gradually replaced and buried my intuitions and impulses, and unlearn them to see where I end up. Essentially, just to be more spontaneous/genuine, and less inhibited. Still a work in progress, but it's getting better all the time.
I'm not sure if that fits your situation, but it's what came to mind when you described feeling disconnected from "absolute" womanhood. I'm increasingly convinced that the very idea of some kind of absolute or canonical vision of womanhood is inherently sexist and oppressively dogmatic. As you yourself pointed out, it presents in infinitely many ways, so how can it be absolute?
If these musings seem relevant to you, I highly recommend this post: https://stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/jubilee That was one of the most helpful articles I've come across to help shift my understanding of and thinking about gender in general, and helped me get to my current mindset.
Bringing all this back to your original question of how I deal with the fact that I "will never be a real girl” - I essentially reject the premise of the question. To the extent that the concept of a "real girl" even exists, I already am one, and always have been. For me, the only practical questions along those lines are how I deal with not passing, or with not achieving my aesthetic preferences. Not sure if those interpretations of the question are interesting for you or not, so I'll answer them in brief.
On not passing: Passing isn't really important to me. I'm fortunate to live in an area where I don't feel like my safety is threatened by being visibly trans. If that changes, I'd probably deal with it by moving somewhere else, where people are less dickish.
On not being able to look how I'd prefer: This one is a downer, for sure. It doesn't really affect whether or not I'd transition, though. Even if I'm not pretty, I'm still so much happier transitioning than not that it just doesn't matter in terms of decision-making. And as a bonus, I'm given to understand that feeling down over body image problems puts you in the same boat as the vast majority of women in the world (cis or not), so if anything, that should get you closer to that "absolute" ideal of womanhood anyway. I basically deal with this from both ends: by gradually making changes to get closer to where I'd like to be, and by gradually working on mental health to be less concerned about it. Even if there are limits to how far I can go in both directions, I still feel a lot better for continuously making the attempt.
you only need to clean your spoon
Don't you need to clean the rice cooker?
I'm not trying to be a smartass, I'm just that desperate that I'm hoping to find out you don't need to.
"mfw": am I a joke to you?
New gender goals just dropped.
You've already got a ton of great advice, and it sounds like your next steps are lined up, so I'll just throw in some words of encouragement and further reading in case you're interested.
Since I had my moment of realization, the mindset I've tried to stick to is "the only way out is through." For me, at this point, that means transition, but it doesn't have to - that's up to you. The reason I bring it up is because it's very easy for this kind of thing to be derailed by the complexities, distractions, and dramatic events of regular life - especially if you turn out to be repressed and looking for excuses to kick the can down the road, like I was. You will likely benefit from sticking with it, in the sense of really engaging with this question and carrying through until you find a satisfying answer for yourself, whatever that answer will end up being. If you are transgender, delaying it will only mean coming back to it later in life, after having suffered needlessly. And if you're not, there's no harm in having taken the time to know yourself a bit better.
I'd also like to share some links that were instrumental to me getting through the questioning phase to the other side, in the order I encountered them.
Hope some of that helps, or is at least interesting.

I'm basically in the same boat, so take my input with a grain of salt. That said, from what I've read, it's important to avoid, or at least be careful with, guides that focus on muscle training. There are exercises out there that can apparently be harmful and cause injury. When I get started in earnest, I'm planning to begin with TransVoiceLessons on YouTube. The girl in those videos frequently makes the point that nothing in voice training should be painful or cause strain, which sounds sensible and encouraging to me. Of course, there will be muscle memory training - it's muscle strength training that can be problematic.
That might be off topic to your actual question, but I wanted to throw it out there just in case.
I’m anti consumers (hate my self because I’m buying stuff theses times ofc XD)
Remember - gender dysphoria is a legitimate illness. That means whatever you're buying is medicine, so it doesn't count as consumerism. 😉 ❤️
Fascinating. Live by the trolls, die by the trolls.
