Is anyone ever going to tell the truth about "transgendered"?

Who is "anti-science" now? Anyone questioning "climate change" is shouted down as being "anti-science" and their careers threatened, all because they don't place much faith in a certain set of data and are persuaded of the correctness of other data. After all, one set might be flawed and others not so much. There's room for legitimate debate.
But if you believe that men can become women, or vice versa, you somehow should escape that label? What science can be cited to establish this claim of being "transgendered"?
There is no science behind the notion that "gender"--what used to be called one's "sex"--is changeable. None whatsoever. When someone truly believes they are Napoleon, or Jesus, or George Washington, they are considered--and rightly so--as mentally and/or emotionally unstable, or suffering delusions. And for good reason: they aren't those people, and there's pretty good proof of that.
And so today, we have about .3% of the population--about 700,000 people all together--who have an abiding sense that they are not really the sex their birth certificate (and the qualified physician who filled it out) claims they are.
But the reality is they are not the opposite sex; they are, in fact, disturbed people. Not dangerously so, but disturbed nonetheless. They have some emotional or wiring glitch that has convinced them of this, perhaps even from a young age.
But facts do not care about your feelings. They are still facts. And those who feel different about themselves than their body tells them is so should not be able to compel the rest of us to agree with them, and they should not demand that laws reflect their delusions.
If you were born with a penis, you're male--no matter how you feel about it. If you weren't, you're a female--no matter how you feel about it. If you were born to Asian parents, you're Asian; to black parents, you're black; to white parents, you're white. And if your parents were human beings, you're whatever sex you were when conceived. It's fixed, forever. Period. Sorry if you've been told otherwise.
