It is official.
Being transgendered is NOT a mental illness. It is in no way shape or form related to any kind of body issues and is has absolutely NOTHING in common with body dysmorphic disorder. More information on this mental illness can be found on the Mayo Clinics website here: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/body-dysmorphic-disorder/symptoms-causes/dxc-20200938
As you can plainly see, this is an issue of identity, NOT mental health.
Thank you for your time.

The mental gymnastics that are at work here is unfathomable.
Why do you care about such a small group of people?

Because even minorities deserve the same respect and privileges that the "general population" receives on a day to day basis.

Would you tell a HIV positiv person that everything is fine, he is completely normal, and persons who don't want unprotected Sex with him are bigots?
Or would you treat his disease?

Why are we naming clinics after disgusting condiments
>However, a transgender person who has made the change (be it by operation or otherwise) to become the person they believe they are, is said to have gotten over that dysphoria and therefore isn't suffering from any kind of illness.
((((((Science))))))
I don't get it, there's a huge push nowadays to de-stigmatize mental illness, but when it comes to transgenders they don't consider it one when it obviously is just so trannies don't get their feelings hurt.
It's such a tiny group that it's just not worth the hassle of inviting all the screaming attacks by correcting them or attempting to do real science on the subject.
Okay, you're "healthy". Good for you. Off you go.
