Except transgenderism is NOT a mental illness. You are so rigidly encased in your ignorant bigotry that you refuse to acknowledge it, even when the SCIENCE has been shown to you multiple times, by multiple folks, right here in this thread.
Here's just a bit of the FACTUAL SCIENCE that I have previously shared. Pay particular attention to irrefutable biology underlying #3, k?
2. Is being transgender a mental illness?
No. While some
outspoken commentators espouse this notion, there's
no good evidence to back it up. According to the
American Psychological Association, "A psychological state is considered a mental disorder only if it causes significant distress or disability. Many transgender people do not experience their gender as distressing or disabling, which implies that identifying as transgender does not constitute a mental disorder." Moreover, the World Health Organization
no longer classifies being transgender as a mental illness.
While transgender identity is not a mental illness, transgender people and those experiencing gender dysphoria are more susceptible to depression, anxiety, and
ADHD.
However, a systematic review found that psychiatric symptoms vastly improve following gender-confirming medical interventions. It seems that when transgender people are permitted to assume their gender identities, they become happier and healthier individuals.
3. Are there brain differences associated with being transgender?
Yes. Male and female brains are structually different, and fascinatingly, studies show that the brain structure and brain activity of transgender people more closely resemble those of their gender identity versus their birth gender. This suggests that sexual differentiation of the brain during the development is not necessarily linked to sexual differentiation of the genitals.
