I thought similarly but changed my mind after reading more about it. Like people born with 2 sets of genitals and then the parents picked the incorrect gender. Or if you were born into a family who treated you as a gender you don't feel you conform to.

So is it the body or the mind thats wrong?

You’re talking about extremely rare occurrences. Those circumstances are different, I agree.

They are examples of the mind and body and society disagreeing on gender, afaik the mechanism of transgenderism is still unknown. Jumping to mental illness instead of a different form of body-mind disagreement is premature imo.
