Wishing unreality to be real is a delusion. Sex is innate and can't be changed, therefore wishing to change it is delusion.

The condition is real insofar as it is delusional thinking, but the particular shape a delusion takes doesn't really matter. "Trans" is a needlessly specific subcategory of delusion, not itself a legitimate condition.

Here's what delusion means:

A belief or altered reality that is persistently held despite evidence or agreement to the contrary, generally in reference to a mental disorder.

I don't see wish anywhere in there.

Wish/belief, potato/potato. They believe they're "in the wrong body" and wish to be the opposite sex. It's pure delusion!

Oh sweaty, don't you realize there's no such thing as biological sex? It's impossible to be in the wrong body, doctors arbitrarily assigned your gender at birth. By acknowledging that male and female bodies are not identical you are being transphobic and committing literal genocide!

Do you think trans people don't fit this “delusion” definition?

Oh I think people who deny basic biology are delusional, for sure. But some don't.
