"God doesn't make mistakes"

Hello there my name is Jade and I am twenty years old and transgender MtF. I include this because the subject of this correlates with me and my relations with religious family members regarding me being transgender. I still have contact with my family but they often refuse to acknowledge my gender identity on the basis of their religious ideals. A phrase that is commonly regurgitated is "god doesn't make mistakes" and that "You are mutilating what gave you". This is something that bothers me because it forces their religious ideals on me by implying I am some sort of premeditated creation and there was a plan for my creating which is obviously not true. How would I refute this or what is a strong argument to make against this. Any advice or help will be appreciated because a lot of the things they say are very degrading to me.
