Its not natural and many people believe it is caused by a mental issue (with good reason, not identifying with your biological sex is pretty far out when you think about it, especiallywhen you consider taaking hormones and surgery to become a gender that you feel more comfortable with)
Sex is a description of human genitalia and other body type factors.
There's a reason it's called transgender and not transsex. Gender is socially constructed around certain physical characteristics and then you have emotions/hormones described through femininity and masculinity and it's societal constructed as well.
And even then , sex isn't even binary. There is intersex.
This isn't a binary issue. This isn't even new stuff, men expressing feminine traits or engaging in behavior that is construed as "female" centric has been happening since civilization happened. Rome and Greece had countless different themes of sexual culture and identification of gender within society. Other societies have the same similar situations.
This whole notion that sex or gender is binary doesn't make historical sense and doesn't make scientific sense.
This shit doesn't matter.
I mean even with women and men who identify as women and men , there are spectrum within those genders themselves.
Here are 2 men who identify as men. Yet these 2 are completely almost the complete opposite even though they are both men.
It's all a spectrum.

These people need mental health, not be sold lies that if they transition things will somehow be wonderful.
The suicide rate of transgender is more connected to the fact they are not socially accepted than your notions that they somehow have an illness.
The suicide rate of gays and lesbians has dropped as it has become more socially acceptable.
You just going to ignore this and not think it's the primary cause for the increased suicide rate for transgender as well?
