There are really huge differences between male and female brains, far more than we suspected even 10 years ago.

Yeah right. Not to mention the differences in serial killers and child molesters compared to normal brains.

if something goes wrong with the hormonal balance around week 12 of the gestation.. you really can end up with a male brain in a female body

But you still haven't explained why they wind up with the brain of a perverted nymphomanic instead of a church lady.

A musician's brain is different too, but it develops that way.

In order to fix the mind, we'd have to fix the brain. And that doesn't mean anything as crude as surgery.

You also cannot physically turn a man into a woman or vice versa. In either case, you have a mentally ill person with a severely mutilated body.

You mean, like this one?

Or perhaps this one?

Or maybe this one?

Ok, maybe this one looks a bit disreputable.

Of course, she's the one who's biologically female. But she too has the 46xy chromosomes normally only found in males - as did Miss Teen USA 1991. She's Intersexed, with a body that doesn't quite conform to either a completely male nor completely female norm. But without a Karyotype (gene test) even her OB/GYN couldn't tell that.

It's more complicated than you think.

About half the baby "girls" born with 5-alpha-reductase-2 deficiency syndrome masculinise at puberty. They get a natural sex change. Of those that do, about 2/3 are actually boys with transsexuality, and for them, it's great. A cure for being transsexual. For the 1/3 that are girls though... it's a nightmare. Unless they get surgery to stop this awful change, they usually kill themselves.

So which group is "delusional", the ones who want to stay the women they were born as, or the boys who finally get to grow a, well, whose genitalia and body changes to match their brains?
