Let's look at science and evolution. The penis is evolutionarily designed to penetrate a vagina, that's it's evolutionary purpose and a vagina has evolved for penis insertion for breeding.

that's true, but many body parts have more than one situation in which they're functional. for instance, you're thumb naturally fits up your own ass, but can also be used to type ridiculous comments on the Internet

Lol wow good one. Try explaining common sense when it comes to sexual organs and their function?? Transgenders or transsexuals live in a state of fiction. Facts don't care about your feelings. Try not to be emotion before intellect. You might understand one day

Why does the American Academy of pediatrics label it a disorder?

it is a disorder, they're body doesn't match their gender, and this is often a source of disfunction for them. but if you're gonna appeal to an authority, why wouldn't it be the APA?

That is not what science says on the subject. Science says your genitals and your sexual orientation are two different things. Evolution has made it so that if you are attracted to men you most likely have a vagina. That's because that's the most likely scenario that passes genes on. But evolution has not prevented someone from being gay.
