It's an interpretation of experience, involving culture, relationships, and biology. Our understanding of transgenderism is neither "fully real" in some objective platonic sense, nor "completely made up" as if there is no basis behind it. Whether someone is really male or female is complex metaphysical issue, I don't have the answer to that,, and maybe in a way it's rarely of practical importance, or maybe you just have to choose one (or both?). If the feelings associated with feeling like a different gender from one's anatomy causes a person distress, it is a mental illness. I get very nervous about the assumption that one must rely on hormonal and physical transition as a solution, which is not to say it should never be done. In any case, use whatever bathroom you are most comfortable in as long as you can be respectful and somewhat discreet.
