But aren't they just changing their gender because society tells them they are acting like a man not a woman? Shouldn't they just be comfortable with who they are? A woman who likes things that aren't typically associated with females, that doesn't make them a man.

Yes, that would be ideal, but society in general has not advanced enough to those levels of tolerance. The fact that it's an issue now is the best thing that ever happened to the LGBT community because culture changes constantly and it's doing it right now. Gender is a social construct base on your sex. Society expects that a man fulfills a masculine role and a woman fulfills a femenine role. If those roles are changed, then you are weird and weird is not acceptable. As it happens with any minority in general.
The fact that people discriminate and at times fear what they can't understand/experience/relate to it's part of human nature. I honestly couldn't give two craps if my neighbour was gay, lesbian, transgender, catholic, atheist or Xuan Wu the supreme lord of the dark heaven, because it doesn't affect me in the least, but I get that people get upset when things get them out of their comfort zone and are not what they think it's "normal" cause that's how any society works. But really, if you are gonna hate somebody, hate those assholes who spoil Game of Thrones.
