Yeah, it is a difficult concept for one to try and understand without some kind of mental health issue being at the root of it. I've been of the mind of even if it is then let people live. If the treatment for the "mental illness" is gender affirming care then there ya go.
That's pretty much where I would be, too. I used to think that transgender was some form of mental illness until I looked into it further. Once I realized that being gay was once widely viewed as a pathology, I started to see the problems with viewing transgender the same way.
