Okay so maybe I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you just have never actually listened to a trans person's experience.
First, why in the hell would you bring up Hitler? That's not only disrespectful but completely removes context from the true subject at hand.
There is no "accepting who they are" with gender dysphoria. This isn't body dysmorphia. Telling a trans woman that they should just "accept" that they are a man is like telling a gay man to accept that they should have sex with women anyways because he was born with a penis. They were born trans, will always be trans, and you can't just tell them to make it stop.
It frankly doesn't matter in the slightest if you think transition is unnatural. It's a recycled point of bigotry from homophobia, where "gay isn't natural".
As for the "everyone is special and unique" bit, that doesn't really relate to trans issues at all. Being trans isn't like being too tall or too short or being conventionally unattractive, it's an actively nagging force in your mind saying "this isn't right".
Are you actually disappointed by trans suicide rates? You want them to be happy and live proper lives? We have research that finds the only known treatment that provides actual results! It's called a transition!

First off, why bring up hitler?
Second, you don't want people to be happy because it... disturbs you?
Does their happiness affect you in any way? Does the thought of their existence cause you so much pain that you want to deny their right to a happy life? To be forced into societal roles, looks, and act?
Trans people don't transition because they want to feel special, they do it because their body doesn't match their gender.
And if everyone is special, why put everyone under the same set of rules, standards, "molds"?
A caterpillar turns into a beautiful butterfly, the chrysalis is their transformation.
btw i think you've got sex and gender mixed up x
