As for the first part: I don't know, a trans person has a neuroatypical trait that makes their psychological gender incongruent with their biological sex; it doesn't make them any less of a man/woman/whatever. Not saying this is the same thing as transsexuality, but differences in one's brain can make a difference in the reality of that person.
As for the second part, you're missing my point. If we live in a country where it is perfectly fine to reject evolution, then it is perfectly fine to believe one has the soul of or is spiritually connected to a wolf. In fact plenty of people that have at least some belief in a creator are, at least in other aspects of their lives, completely rational-thinking beings. It's just not really anyone else's place to police identities.
