That is either due to a medical birth defect or a mental health issue. I am not sure which. But either way, medical care of some sort is required. Why would we treat them differently in terms of health care when it is obvious that they need health care? How is it different than a disease or a birth defect or schizophrenia or any other medical/mental health problem?

The "proper word" that you're looking for is 'cisgender.'
It should also be stated, not all transgender people get medical intervention, far fewer actually end up with gender reassignment surgery (IE: 'bottom surgery').
