Chaz's definition of what it means to be trans may be offensive to some, but that doesn't make it incorrect or inadequate. I've always thought of my being trans as the ultimate birth defect, and I don't think I diminish myself or other trans people by calling it that. If my gender identity is female and my body is male, I'm not sure what better word there is to describe that phenomenon than "defect".
