if you were mentally healthy, you wouldnβt be tortured by the existence of your body , and you wouldnβt feel the need to medically or cosmetically alter your otherwise healthy body . idk why itβs so hard for them to admit that yes dysphoria is a mental illness β¦ maybe because it clashes with the β being trans is innate and something youβre born as β bs ?
either way , recognizing a mental illness for what it is isnβt ableism at all . if anything , itβs wayy more ableist to treat the label β mental illness β as something degrading and to deny the real harm that conditions like dysphoria cause
