Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created. (Genesis 5:2)
Though some people these days (and fewer than we are presented with by the news) claim that there has been some sort of mistake, or that they don't feel right in their gender, and abuse the medical profession to change that, there's no such thing as mistakes with God. He made them male and female, period. If a person doesn't feel right int heir own physiology, there is a mistake with them, not with God.
"You're either XX or XY. That's it. ... This notion that you are something other than your biology is a cultural construct intended as an assault on God." John MacArthur
Transgender is a rebellion against God because He made each person as He intended, male or female. Claiming that one wants to switch genders, or that there has been a mistake, is saying God isn't God, That He is not sovereign, he doesn't know what He is doing, and it's OK to make one's self their own god.
Here is a five-minute clip I thought answered the question of transgenderism sensitively, but heartbreakingly. When a person switches genders, they obliterate themself. Transgender folks are 19X more likely to commit suicide. If you or someone you know is going through a desired gender switch, or wants to, get them help immediately, and pray fervently for them.
