There are differences between the male brain and the female brain, and there have been studies done on the brains of male-to-female transgender people, and the results of those studies demonstrated that the brains of MTF trans people are like those of natural-born females.
Not all transgenders "cut off body parts" nor have a desire to. Jenner hasn't and probably won't. Some of them are comfortable with keeping the genitalia that they were born with especially because they would lose physical (read: sexual) sensation down there if they were to get surgery.
There are also people out there known as "intersex" -- what was once described as "hermaphrodites". Their genitalia and/or other bodily features are like a blend of both sexes. The point I'm trying to make is that nature doesn't always get it right. Nature makes mistakes sometimes. So, just because you personally aren't comfortable with the idea of a transgender person, it does not mean that they have a "mental illness" or that they don't have a right to undergo a transition. Just because you personally can't comprehend why such people would want to change themselves, it does not mean that they shouldn't be allowed to do it.
