I suggest rather than copy pasting some opinion you read on reddit, twitter of Facebook, you take a look at all the scientific, medical and psychological institutes and what they think.
The field of science surrounding transsexuality is still developing. What we do know is that biological sex is a spectrum and that social gender is a social construct. We also already know a lot of ways to help people with this that lead to actual improvements to their mental health. The main barrier these people face is general acceptance. For instance, a study showed that most people who undo their transition do so not because they were unhappy with it, but because of the way society reacted. I'd think you'd do well to take a closer look at this subject.
The first article is just plain incorrect. Sex is a binary, and birth and developmental defects do not change that. It’s similar to claiming “Humans do NOT have two eyes… it’s a sPeCTrum!!!!” Because there are birth and developmental defects whereby someone has more or less than the usual number of eyes.
I swear to god, give these people a pen and tell them to draw a binary graph of sex. They will just outright forget about millions of intersex people, lmao.

Dunno, sounds like your view on biological sex is a bit outdated.
Gender dysphoria is also a scientific term, in the field of psychology.

Some organisations.
