The animal kingdom also has creatures which will, by all technical definition, die during the winter then later return to life. Not to mention many strange and bizarre things.

It is true that, in certain species, it is entirely possible when the need arises for a member of the species to transition into another, fertile, member of the opposite sex to help procreate.

Those italicized words are very important.

Here is the things. Human beings do not 'naturally' change genders like that. When we do 'transition' we do it through surgical aid and cosmetic assistance to provide the appearance of being a member of the opposite sex. This is not natural.'

Please note, I did not say 'wrong' or 'bad'. Just not 'natural'. To the best of my knowledge no other animal does this; utilizing external sources to adopt the appearance of a member of the opposite sex of its own species while remaining infertile. You can claim it is positive or good, I'm not here to question its social or moral implications, I'm just here to point out that using various surgical methods to change into a member of the opposite sex to permit an individual to act as a member of the opposite sex out of internalized desire is not the same as a frog utilizing its genetic code to change its gender during times when one of the two is in short supply to ensure the survival of the species.
