Afaik no one actually argues that gender dysphoria isn't a mental illness. The conflict arises because the best way clinicians found to alleviate the issue is to make incremental changes to your physicality to mirror your mental state as well as alter your "gender performance" to alleviate any dissonance between how you perceive yourself vs how others perceive you. The average joe thinks you should "just get over it" without understanding that treating symptoms without the underlying cause is often a losing battle that results in suicide. Yet this very board will tell you that fatties problems are because they are fat and they should fix that instead of taking SSRIs or getting counseling. Somehow they can't square these two things and think you should essentially "pray the gender away" the way they do with gayness. Buncha retarded faggots here if you ask me, but that's just my take.
