All trans people I know personally appear to be running from something. They're trying to escape. For one its a very strict Mormon upbringing paired with some abuse, while for another it's molestation from a family member as a child. I do not know any personally who I would consider the "in the wrong body" type.

Yes, this seems to be true. My daughter has long had a female friend now in her 20's who says she's male and wants to be called a male name. I watched this friend grow up as an only child, and saw her mother smother her with "protection" from everything because the kid had an allergic reaction once. I could tell it was not going to end well.
