Transsexuals (MtF in this example) have female brain structures already. Autopsies and MRI scans have shown that. They are not becoming female, their brains/minds are female (or more female than they should be to reside in a male body). They are trying to align their body with their already female mind/brain.
The doctors even know when it happens. Endocrine disruptions to the foetus in weeks 15/16 prevents the brain from masculinsing in MTFs or may over-masculinise it in FTMs depending on what goes wrong. In MTFs in recent years (1960s/70s/80s) the endocrine disruptor seems to have been a pregnancy drug called Diethylstilbesterol which is now banned.
I don't think, many will dispute that... But still, they were brought up the "wrong" gender... So, they will still have issues to overcome even if they could win beauty contest's as a female....
