I agree with you. Most of the noise we hear about trans-sexuality is divisive nonsense being pushed to help divide us (and other reasons), but a small percentage of people are biologically in the situation of feeling like one gender while living in a body with the opposite gender.
From Affective Neuroscience: The Foundations of Human and Animal Emotions by Jaak Panksepp (1998):
"The signals that trigger babies' brains and bodies to take the various possible gender and sex paths are separate."
and thus:
"The four major types of organizational permutations can yield the obvious forms of cross-sexual gender identities: the presence of malelike brains in female bodies and of female brains in malelike bodies."
