The confusion arises from the fact that both the current pro-transgenderism and anti-transgenderism are wrong. Neither are attempting to take gender as a psychological issue.
Current transgenderism attempts to evade the question by saying that gender is a subjective social construct, and therefore meaningless to discuss gender at all. Or they would say that if the outward appearance is "male" or "female", then that becomes the gender. So it's only a matter of having a sex-change operation.
Anti-transgenderism says that only biological sex is what matters, and denies the fact that there could be psychological gender at all. Or perhaps there is, but somehow the psychological gender is intrinsically linked to the biological sex that you're born with. I would find this argument to be somewhat unconvincing.
Either way, transgenderism needs to come up with what the psychological gender even are. And that biological sex and psychological gender are two different things that need to be treated separately. Ironically, both the transgenderism and anti-transgenderism are Behaviorist, as in they're ignoring the internal, psychological qualities of a person. You also cannot deny the psychological reality that exist within people's consciousness.
