Is that argument really relevant? Aren't they human beings who don't chose to be transgender? So, their existence is their right. It's not a political position,

  Yes, you do have the right, but its also about how we conceptualize it as a society. People should be allowed to remove or add breasts to their body, but telling people that they did it because they felt feminine implies that feminine people should be women (and therefore that women should be feminine). It's not just changing your body, but a redefinition of your identity to something that others were born with. It's also a solution to something you felt needed to be solved. In the current framework of thinking, if someone feels they feel "feminine" without taking the time to really think about what that is, they might be told to consider that they are transgender. Being transgender is highly costly, associated with depression and suicide, and may make a person who feels not normal in a position where they are now even more of a minority.
