Outside of being PC and nice, which shouldn't be factors, how is it not a mental issue? People feel they're in the wrong body and will go through major mutilation to feel they're in the right body? If someone told you that about ANYTHING but gender you'd say it's a mental issue. That's why it's being PC that has you confused.
Sorry for being politically correct m. Everybody who feels they are the wrong gender does not mean they will get things removed. If you want us to call it a mental illness how PC will these cures for the transgender mental illness be? Will they take medication to feel like what they are born as? Therapy?
