    He would think they were a mutational oddity, along with a variety of other human/animal traits that don't appear to serve any evolutionary purpose.

    If he didn't already know them in his own society, he would be very un-surprized.

    He would likely think that they were just people who had a lack of or increased amount of testosterone when an embryo.(That I our current scientific standpoint)He would be curious but not hateful.

    Darwin suggested that those who survive are not the strongest, most intelligent, fittest, communicative - but those who co-operate!

    Most transgender people simply want to find their place in this society/world and continue their lives as most people do. I suggest that Darwin would not have a problem with that...

    He'd say it's a competition between trans and cis.
