You’re mixing up genetic problems with what’s called transgender.

Incorrect.

Genetic problems can lead to gender dysphoria (transgender), particularly for a segment of the Klinefelters population, people with congenital adrenal hyperplasia or non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, hyperandrogenism, and others.

Not all people who suffer from these incurable conditions experience gender dysphoria, but plenty of studies going back 30 years or more show that some do.

As the parent of a child with one of these incurable genetic defects and gender dysphonia, I was forced to learn more about them and the impact of the endocrine system on sexual development than most people in the hopes of finding a cure.

When you know how rare these conditions are, and then how rare the subset who experience gender dysphoria is, you quickly realize that the current push in the medical field to transition everyone is agenda-driven instead of based on actual science. Further, you quickly determine that the number of kids now claiming to be “trans” is statistically impossible.

A huge mistake people make is not recognizing that there should be an underlying medical condition (because for some there is and in some instances it is curable; for example, boys with Klinefelters who experience GD can be treated with testosterone, which has shown for some patients to alleviate the GD, for some not). If there isn’t, it’s a mental disorder and we should not be operating on kids.
