They’re on the right track at least. It’s not a mental disorder and no one is a “freak” for not passing, also that “unbiased therapy”comment wasn’t needed.
It 100% is a mental disorder, just looking at it logically…
Your mind feels like the body it’s in is not correct. If that’s not a mental disorder I don’t know what is.
I’m not saying people who have it are freaks, just like I don’t see people with physical disabilities/disorders as freaks.
It is not a mental disorder. Dsm-5 does not classify it as such.
So they don’t call it a mental disorder but it clearly is…
good that you know better than the people that write psychatric / psychological guidelines for professionals. they actually removed the classification as a mental disorder based on more uptodate research and the current scientific consensus. its sad to see people not only repeating this transphobic talking point but people on Lemmy also upvoting it.
You clearly dont know what you’re talking about. You do not know better than the experts who spent years in studying psychology.
The fuck is up with all this censoring on feddi? I left reddit to not constantly be censored but it seems like this place is no better.
I haven’t attacked anyone, I’m not acting threatening, and my comment has twice as many upvotes as downvotes, but some mod didn’t like it so they removed it.
Fuck you to whoever mod did that. You’re a fragile piece of shit.
There. I was nice enough to give you an actual reason to moderate something.

I think the different interpretation of "standing out like a freak" part is more generational. He's not saying people with gender dysphoria are freaks—standing out like a freak is the feeling you have somewhere when you feel completely out of place and uncomfortable. Like if you're wearing yellow socks to a funeral. Nobody comments on it and you're not sure anyone even sees them, but you feel like you're standing out like a freak because you're constantly thinking about it and feeling out of place and as if you don't belong.
