I remember being a tween in the mid/late 90s and trying to convince why Mormon friends why I believed being trans was real and possible, not that I especially understood what trans was. I figured if nature was so varied and had so many irregularities there was no reason that being born into the wrong body/the wrong sex couldn’t be one of those irregularities. Being this was the 90s and the topic hadn’t been politicized we all came to the conclusion it was reasonable for biology to “allow for” trans identities. I feel like even basic biology covered the concept of a person being trans just fine
