Some time ago I ran into a person at a local convenience store who had previously been a male, but one day showed up to work in nail polish, a face 'high pitched' voice and started calling himself "Heather" instead of Heath.
I was disgusted and thought about trying to argue and reason him out of his self-destructive lifestyle, but felt it would cause a scene. Originally I planned never to patronize that establishment again if they were tolerant of that antisocial behavior among their employees, but decided to return again later. And strangely I never saw him there again - makes me wonder if he took his own life, like trannies do at an astronomically high rate.
And while not trying to be judgmental, the guy in question was obese and not very-well kept and probably would have had a hard time getting a woman; so I suspect he decided to "go transgender" because he felt he'd fit in more.
Definitely think this is proof that the media is encouraging this type of self-destructive behavior; because just a few decades ago I don't believe anyone would have thought to do this if they hadn't heard some fool in the media trying to tell them it was "normal".
Definitely makes me feel sorry for people like that - must really suck for lack of a better world to go through life hating yourself simply for being what nature designed you to be, hence the high mortality rate among these people.
Not to mention the false friends who enable this deviant behavior rather than trying to get the people help, much like those who promote anorexia, heroin addiction, or self-mutilation as "lifestyle choices" that are not to be judged - the guy in question had a "girl friend" who worked at the same store who simply treated his behavior like it was normal, and probably would have accused me of being intolerant if I had been kind enough to speak the truth and try to talk him out of his behavior - which might actually have saved his life assuming he took it.

I support all people having support to go through spiritual healing so they can be at peace and not have conflicts over whether they are gay straight transgender etc. The same spiritual healing process that helps people to change from gay to straight also helps people come out gay or transgender if that is their natural default state.
(here's a post on that spiritual healing process that is not at all what people think when they first hear about people changing orientation from gay to straight:
How To Defeat Homosexual Activists 101 A Real Education)
I've seen enough to know that there isn't one rule that fits all people in all cases.
As for Transgender people I've interacted with personally
1. one person online started out as a young married man, but had issues rejecting Christianity as hypocritical for condemning gays and cross dressing etc. By the time I explained about forgiveness, and there were even gay churches, and Christians preaching forgiveness for gays where some are born that way from the womb and others are made by man (and we discussed how spiritual karma from past generations might cause people to be born as homosexual in this one as a result of past actions that weren't forgiven and resolved, so the karma is repeated until it is addressed later), this young man came out as transgendered and finally embraced the personal realization that "he" was actually a female personality/soul born in a male body. When "he" finally forgave, and accepted identifying as a "she" then "she" felt God's love for the first time, and accepted "herself" and finally felt happiness, liberation and love.
Now, I wasn't trying to proselytize or push LGBT at all, and had no idea that was the issue here. I was as shocked as anyone, including this man's family when they didn't see this coming either.
All I was doing was trying to help my friend online to overcome negative rejection of Christianity as some kind of hate judgment thing, when the message is about love and forgiveness. Because my friend got support of "his/her" ex wife, parents and family and underwent counseling before making any changes, where everyone was happy that "Tess" was finally happy, then I accepted on faith that this was the right decision for "Tess." at first I was more on the side of slowing down, and not making hasty decisions, but trying out the new persona for a while before changing anything permanently. But my friend knew what was right for "her" and followed that path and is very happy today.
Even jabs at me that I was trying to discourage the change, and suggested to try wearing different clothes first and not go all out until absolutely certain.
2. another Transgender relationship was with a father turned female and a son who "thought" he might do the same.
He was going through such a spiritual crisis, that I called over a friend to help with prayer.
My friend (the son) had collapsed on the floor, was breathing normally but just not responding to communication, as if in a trance. I called my friend who made a detour to come help and prayed for this young man to recover from whatever "attack" he was experiencing.
Afterwards, he went through more counseling for impulses he was suffering, telling him to go after children. So he got help and stayed away from kids until these impulses finally got under control and went away. He decided he wasn't transgender after all, and was at peace with being a man as he was born.
From consulting with his friends, the most we could figure out is they were playing with some kind of shaman sorcery or occult/dark forces when these negative impulses hit. Whatever it was, these voices had him convinced he needed to be female instead of male, so when my friend did the prayer to remove the negative energy and restore the positive healing energy, the voices went away and the young man was able to go back to what he is naturally which is male. And to stop the other voices that were telling him things like he needed to turn into woman, or he needed to go after children etc.
so in his case, his father may be a valid Transgender female but the son was not.
3. last I have a new friend who is Transgender male to female and cannot tolerate anyone referring to "her" as "him or he or his"
I try to support my friend in achieving personal goals regardless of gender identity. And have met with another community activist who plans to set up a jobs network and temp agency just for Transgender workers since they are often harder to place with companies if people aren't comfortable how to handle such employees.
