    A disorder is a disorder if it's a disorder. Not if you casually "decide" it's a disorder for yourself, that's not how things work.
    It's almost like they believe that dysphoria gets to identify itself as something? Like each person's dysphoria gets to decide whether it's a disorder on an individual basis or something... which, ironically, is kind of transphobic/problematic (god I hate that word but it fits here) because it implies there is choice involved with how someone feels their gender dysphoria which is a slippery slope towards backsliding into old, ineffective treatments for GID.

    Also I just want to say for a 26 page thread on a potentially touchy subject I think people have been like startlingly accepting of actual (to borrow Nirokun's phrasing) "true blue" trans people. I was kind of worried we would get some psychos in here trying to disrespect actual trans people and for the most part that really hasn't been a thing.

    Almost like gamers aren't intolerant neckbeards like some people wanted to imply...

    If you are trying to lump the nonbinary people in with actual trans people who transition you're being really disrespectful to people who are actually trans. Transition is an amazingly difficult process that is expensive, dangerous and mentally taxing. It is not deciding to put on a dress one day or pants another or cut your hair short. Those people are not trans.
