I had a cousin with a cleft palate; she had 12 operations to repair it and the facial problems.

That's a mere physical problem, and is easily fixed. Gender identity is a mental problem; far worse to correct.

I don't think you're talking about the same thing. These people are not confused; they're physically ambiguous. It's different than someone who has delusions or is wanting to be in Liberalisms latest freak show.

This article is discussing physical problems, not mental.

I don't think you understand. There is, of course, a mental component to gender. When a baby is born without clearly defined genitalia, the Dr's usually decide to make the baby be female. Some of these children grow up and insist they feel like men.

Physically normal people who insist they are the wrong sex are mentally ill. People whose physical sexual development was compromised, leaving Dr's to choose which gender they will be, are an entirely different issue.
