Broadly speaking, you probably agree with the large majority of the views commonly attributed to whichever group you identify with - what are the exceptions? Something that if you mention without a caveat immediately makes people jump to conclusions or even attack you?

That people take issue with this point of view speaks to a general stigma around 'mental illness' as a category. Some strides have been made but we're still not where I'd like us to be.

Yes, gender dysphoria is a psychological condition. Yes, in many cases acceptance of identified gender and medical transition can reduce the suffering caused by the condition. It's not like there's been resounding success/better 'patient' outcomes for the alternatives.

It's just such an obvious line of reasoning to me that I have a hard time understanding how some people don't grok it, unless they've been poisoned by shitty preachers.
