It is what the study found. I didn’t say anything about it being shifted towards either end of a spectrum, I said that it seems to have a neuroanatomical component.
Sexual orientation also has a neuroanatomic component to it, or an “abnormal brain” if we use your words. Do you think that homosexual people are also mentally ill, or that that is just natural human diversity. Because that would be a weird double-standard.
You misunderstand me. The negative emotions associated with transgender identity is the mental illness. Just like someone can be a so called “self hating gay”. The issue arises when the rest of society is forced to acknowledge that a trans person actually is the thing they imagine themselves to be. Your rights end where mine begin.

Do you think that everyone has the same amount of attention span that you do? You realize that we can scroll up to see your original reply where you say that mental illness is characterized by “an abnormal brain” right?
Trans people having negative emotions isn’t because of societal acceptance, it’s the opposite. The issue arises when people disregard trans people’s experiences and call them “mentally ill”, and even refuse care proven to work on the basis of calling them mentally ill.
Sorry I infringed on your right to call me “he” lmao.

No I didn’t. I said that trans gender identity is often correlated with mental distress. It is this distress that is the illness. The same illness that reshapes a person’s brain so that we can see the structural abnormalities on scans.

They have negative emotions regardless of societal acceptance.

These two concepts are not linked. You can’t disregard that something exists AND call it a mental illness. You can do Either, not both.
and even refuse care proven to work on the basis of calling them mentally ill.
Two questions here:
1: Why would anyone deny mental care to the mentally ill?
2: What standard of care is it that has proven reduction in suicidality?
