I grew up very Mormon, and maybe it's because I didn't have any real examples, or because being trans was just an abstract idea, but I don't ever recall a time when I thought it was wrong or strange or abnormal. It just made sense to be yourself, no matter what other people said you should be. And if that meant (forgive me) cross dressing, I saw nothing wrong with that.
