Klinefelter syndrome occurs when a person who is assigned male at birth is born with an extra x chromosome. Most people with the condition are cisgender boys or men.
Being trans is not a medical condition, although many trans people have gender dysphoria, which is psychological distress a person may have due to identifying with a different gender than the one that they were assigned at birth.
I'd go further, and say that anything that needs "just" therapy, is also a medical condition.
The mentality of "as long as it lets you work, it doesn't matter whether you suffer or not" is pretty inhumane, IMHO.
