I've said this before, but this is an area where lots of people have contradicting opinions. If you believe that there are measurable differences between the male brain and the female brain (owing to the release of different hormones), then it follows that some small percentage of people will end up with female brains in male bodies, or vice versa. Likewise, all those people who loudly profess the existence of transgendered people must also accept that gender has a large physical component and is not just socially constructed.
The problem is going to be false positives. People who foster this sort of thing in their kids just to further their own queer identity politics. Personally, I think a responsible parent would shield his or her kid from any unnecessary attention until the kid is old enough to make a proper decision. In this attention-whoring world, though, there's far too many people willing to use their kids for 15 minutes of fame.
