The apparent difference between you and me is that I


view transgenderism as part of a spectrum of naturally occurring and therefore normal human conditions, whereas you believe that, at least in terms of gender identity, only one of those conditions (yours) is normal and that transgenders are "aberrant." I don't see how that shows any empathy with them on your part, since empathy is defined as the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. I imagine transgender folks desperately want to feel normal, and I fail to understand how declaring that they are abnormal reflects an understanding of their feelings, i.e., empathy.
