Your grandparents didn't accept black people. Your parents were smarter than that. Your parents accepted black people; but not gay people. You were smarter than that. You accepted gay people; but not transgender people. Your kids will be smarter than you. They will accept transgender people; but still not Auburn fans.
I accept transgenders, but I still think it's like someone is "broken" for lack of a better term. As if it's a type of Body Dysmorphic Disorder. It is called Gender Dysphoria afterall. Where as homosexuality I think is just normal.

The human brain is the most complex structure in the Universe that we know of. Many scientists think of it as a quantum computer.
There are countless ways in which the brain can get broken, as you say. Sexual problems get undue attention because of the high status of sex in the lives of modern humans.
Gender identification disorder (GID) is a legitimate birth defect. It's incidence is very small but the people afflicted with the condition suffer immensely.
Treatment ranges from mental therapy to gender reassignment, depending on a person's needs to live a more settled life. Many GID sufferers commit suicide.
Based on what I've studied and seen in life, I personally think there are two distinct categories of transgender individuals: Those like teenager Leelah Alcorn who committed suicide because her conservative Christian parents wouldn't allow her to take hormone therapy leading up to gender reassignment (they instead forced her into religious therapy); and others like Caitlyn Jenner who seem to enjoy the frills of womanhood but who don't want gender reassignment or sex with men. They actually still prefer women as sexual partners.
