Transgender people have existed in some form for a long time, the medicalization of it only started in the late 19th + early 20th century. The difference I see between the two is that there isn't a known 'fix' for gender dysphoria besides transition. I don't think any trans person would protest to never having to go through transition... but they definitely don't advocate for extermination of trans people either. There are plausible biological causes for being transgender that are parallel but not equal to intersex issues.
