The only thing worse than an idiot is an idiot that's up their own arse and think they're above others.
Gender dysphoria IS a mental illness. That doesn't make the person suffering a bad person. "Treatments" like hormones and surgery are to dull the symptoms brought on by the condition (much like painkillers, they mask the symptoms but don't fix the source of the pain.) but deep down they know that it's just a surface fix. This is probably a big factor in suicide rates.
People suffer from gender dysphoria. It can't be an easy thing to live with and the people that do put up with a lot. Even though people can be trans and seem well together and productive members of society doesn't mean it isn't a mental illness. Depression is a mental illness, people get through it.
I've got nothing against trans people live and let live and all that and I hope they find happiness in life, I really do, but the truth is until we can fix the source of the problem I think suicide rates will remain sky high. And that's what's sad.
