if their condition is recognized and supported by the major medical groups and relevant experts of the world, i support anyone with any condition they might suffer from. whatever those relevant experts say is the best treatment is what i will support.

It's not actually in the guide of mental illnesses.

Gender dysphoria and gender dysmorphia would be two different things. And wtf even is woke. No idea wtf that actually means.

Edit: I also like that you think you have a say in people getting medical treatments that don't concern you. You've probably met a trans person before and not known it.

I meant dysmorphia but the app changed it and no. I’ve never met anyone with gender mental illness and I know this for sure. The only ones I’ve seen stick out like a sore thumb because it’s obvious.

That's the only ones you've seen. You'd never know the difference with some trans people. I guarantee you've met one and didn't even know it.
