if you were mentally healthy, you wouldn’t be tortured by the existence of your body , and you wouldn’t feel the need to medically or cosmetically alter your otherwise healthy body . idk why it’s so hard for them to admit that yes dysphoria is a mental illness … maybe because it clashes with the “ being trans is innate and something you’re born as ” bs ?
either way , recognizing a mental illness for what it is isn’t ableism at all . if anything , it’s wayy more ableist to treat the label “ mental illness ” as something degrading and to deny the real harm that conditions like dysphoria cause
