CMV: Gender dysphoria is a mental illness

I should set clear that i really want social inclusion of all kinds of people (homosexuals, blacks, poor people, transgenders, etc), and my view doesn't necessarily mean that i am against transgenderism.

By definition gender disphoria is a mental illness and that's final. That said, it doesn't mean it actually is a mental illness, for the definition may be changed or not be accurate.

However, I don't see any other way to categorise the need to change gender other than a mental illness. If you don't feel aligned with your body, it would be wiser to at least try therapy and medication before undergoing a violent surgery / hormonal treatments (the issue could be solved before doing such intrusive intervention, and if therapy didn't work, then they could try the surgery and hormones).

It also seems to be a way to mask the real issue (identity disorders) but not treating the root cause of the problem, and that will lead to anxiety, depression, stress, confusion in some cases.

Are you certain gender dysphoria has *only* a psychological cause? If it were one's dysphoria were influenced by biology, would you still call it a mental illness? Because it would make sense that if gender identity is, in part, biological then gender dysphoria would also, in part, be biological. Would it not?

At the very least, if we don't know the nature of gender dysphoria then it might be reckless to just say it's "a mental illness and that's final".
