Scientifically speaking, are all men transgender?

Question

All babies start out female in the womb, until an X chromosome decides to mutate or not. It's the only reason men have nipples. Perhaps there is some truth to the statement when a man says he was "supposed to be" a woman. The same argument can't be made for transmen however. So what's their excuse? Did nature "make a mistake" with them too, forcing a person to be born into the wrong body?

Kind of, yes, but not CAIS people.

Just to clarify and have a private beef about the terms "trans"gender and "trans"sex. Nobody "trans"s because nobody changes sex or gender. Born male, always male. Born Female, always female. So no - men or women do not "trans".

BTW, in your question, you mean transex, not transgender.

That's not how it works.
It about the hard-wiring of the brain, not chromosomes.

LOLWHAT. That's not how it works. The sperm has an X or Y chromosome. As soon as it's fertilized the blastocyst is either XX or XY. The physical expression isn't visible on a sonogram until I think 14 weeks, but it's _genetically_ male or female the entire time.

The whole thing is a fad that spreads through social media. It was never a thing before. Confused teenagers got over it and ended up happy being whatever sex they were to begin with. Boys are boys and girls are girls. 
It should be illegal for doctors to give puberty blockers to children based on the whims of the parents whose children's lives will be ruined.

If you have a theory but find it only works sometimes,  that says its flawed.   you therefore need to go away and reevaluate your approach.

No, over 99% of us is happy with the plumbing we have.

"All babies start out female in the womb, until an X chromosome decides to mutate or not."

No, that's not how it works. If a foetus has 2 X-chromosomes, it usually will become a baby-girl. If it has an X-chromosome and a Y-chromosome, it usually will become a baby-boy.

X-chromosomes make no decision. No mutation is necessary

Pay more attention in Biology class. Mutation is not involved. The father donates either an X or a Y chromosome. What may have you confused is that the early stages of development are neutral. Eventually, certain structures differentiate into either male or female structures: head of penis or clitoris, shaft of penis or labia minora, scrotum or labia majora, and so forth.

Ah, if we didn’t have men there wouldn’t be a baby to start out in the womb in the first place. It’s like a flower they all start as a stem but will end up as a sunflower or a daisy for example.
