Being different is not the same as being wrong. That view is the foundation of racism and bigotry.
I’ve never said anything negative about gays or trans people.
You called them ‘wrong’ in this thread, so yes you have. That is an extremely negative thing to say.
I guess I should call it a mental differentiator instead of a mental disorder.
Or you could just stop trying to come up with a label that tries to separate them from the general populace. Maybe you should stop talking about them at all and spend time observing how they see themselves and how society treats them negatively by focusing on how they are different as if being different was inherently a bad thing.

I think the word “wrong” has other connotations to most Americans than it does to me. I can agree that “wrong” is probably not the word to use when thinking about the American use of the word.
To me it’s like if someone was born with only one leg. There is something wrong with their body.
