    Because it’s possible for someone to be born neurologically intersex. It is not possible for someone to be born neurologically interspecies. Trans identities arise from neurology, just like anything else. It’s entirely possible for someone with a male body but a brain primed for a female form and female social role. That is at its core what it means to be trans.

    There is simply no equivalent for trans racial or trans species folks.

    Your mistake is that you view being trans as a quirky body mod that people chose, rather than a correction of a fundamental neurological disconnect someone is born with. In other words, someone can be born with a female brain in a male body, vice versa, or somewhere in between. Again, there is no equivalent for trans racial or trans species.
