Which makes me able to be objective.

In what world is a mental clash between mind and body not a mental illness?

Would you say eating disorders aren't either?

Well they would say that as they are trans

So you are saying a trans person is wrong but you are right? Hmm ok, got it.

In the same breath though would you say a skeletal person who feels they are fat is wrong but you are right....of course you would. They won't listen because they know how they feel

Every issue is pertinent to the person who is dealing with it....people on the periphery will view it differently. Trans issues need to be dealt with with empathy and understanding but it is one if a myriad of issues people deal with eith regards to body issues and dysmorphia.

In this particular case, I'm not the one with gender-based body dysmorphia, so yes, I'm right and they're wrong.

In the same way that someone with an eating disorder might believe they're fat, when they're ... clearly not.

There’s a big difference between an eating disorder and trans, you are really being beyond what you think you know.

Why? Why are they different?

Because one is they want to be the right sex and know that’s what they want, even from being children. One is an illness that can be helped with.

I provided proof of why trans isn’t an illness yet you ignore it because they are trans and it doesn’t suit your space of mind.

I've noticed even on NHS website they're tip toeing around the definition of trans/ gender dysphoria. We all know it's how they feel but it's still psychological condition aswell. And other issues usually get diagnosed aswell as ie depression ,anxiety etc .
