I think the idea is that they feel "not" what their sex expression is. IOW, I'm a boy and that feels really wrong. Gender is a spectrum, but usually if the feeling is strong enough that it creates mental anguish, that spectrum behaves nominally like a binary. "Not" male = female.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
