They assigned gender at birth simply based on the appearance of our genitals, ergo it's not really a scientific process.
We can still have kids. Plenty of trans people become parents during transition or before. Furthermore, medical science is still working towards artificial uterus', which trans feminine people will be able to benefit from.
The reason trans people (or lgbt people) exist is mysterious, but unless you have some sort of supernatural belief it must be rooted in something physical. That doesn't mean that it's a "gene" per se of course. Indeed, it's unlikely that LGBT status would be genetic, because LGBT people tend to have less offspring, which would select it out of the gene pool over time. People have attempted to come up with evolutionary psychology rationales for it, like maybe LGBT people are more likely to help raise related family members, but none of the rationales quite work.
But just because it doesn't work as a gene, doesn't mean it isn't rooted in biology. It could be caused by something related to gene expression in your mother, or exposure to certain conditions during fetal development. We just don't know, but it's not necessarily unknowable.
The number of openly or self-aware queer people is infinitely smaller than the number of likely closeted people. IF the key had something to do with something passed down then it would simply make more sense for it to be a problem of society keeping people in the closet due to lack of education and enforced fear tactics.
I really don't care why it happens, but it happens. It actually seems to have something to do with fetal development. All human fetuses start as female until exposed to testosterone in the womb and there are two exposures, one that affects brain development and one that affects the rest of the body. Causing their brain to not match their body which has been backed up by MRI scans of trans people.
Yeah, not to mention trans people experience giant leaps in emotional functioning when on HRT. I for one can actually laugh and cry now. Before I was either angry all the time or a zombie. I've heard trans men say that being on testosterone also balanced them out and made them less angry all the time, too.
That's what made me realise I was so wrong. A member here told me to look this up and I did. The science couldn't be more clear. There is deffinatly a divergence and as the brain makes a person a person....well who is anyone to argue with someones brain?
Thinking of the character. I think gender would be a extremely fluid concept for trills.
Even with non joined, the concept of symbiots would have had a cultural impact.
I think Trill society would have a high proportion of any trans or non binary persons from it's very nature and not just from fetal development but its culture.

Jean Luc's dad condemned a son and grandson to burning to death for his pointless embrace of identity politics and tradition.
Sometimes children have trouble escaping the boxes their parents build around them.
Nevertheless their lives are their responsibility. And blaming your ancestors is even dumber when they're dead.
You can live your life or you can resent your life. I've never seen anyone do both well.
Follow your bliss.I just wanna be someone's cute girlfriend.
You might admit perhaps, though, that being the son of seven generations of Amish farmers might be more than a small bump in the road to becoming, say, an Astronaut, though?
Huh?
A boy who plays with dolls, or a girl who is into motorcycles is not at all the same thing as being transgender.
This stumped me too.
Dreamer, the trans character on Supergirl made several continuous comments about having children, and in a thousand years she had a legacy character named Deam Girl who was her great great... ...great grand daughter.
Before reassignment surgery, if she's even reassigned yet, or thinks that reassignment surgery is necessary, or she can afford reassignment surgery, vaginas are very expensive (I think that's a joke from will and grace) she's left alone for a while and told to fill a large bucket with baby batter, which is then stored at a sperm bank until needed.
The same dealio with cancer, before you get chemotherapy.
This is not how being trans works at all. Nobody is out there forcing kids to transition, that's just boogeyman shit.
If a kid says "I'm not the gender you keep calling me" then they're trans and if their parents are not evil then they will let the child socially transition and go on blockers to prevent a wrong first puberty until the child is ready for HRT.
On Gray's Anatomy last year, there was a Doctor preaching that he had greatest scientific innovation since the toaster "BABY IN A BAG!!!"
