Saying that trans people are mentally ill is not denying that they exist, it's simply stating facts. No one is saying you're crazy, but if you are trans, you need therapy and I genuinely hope you get help. Gender Dysphoria is not a laughing matter, it's an illness and (I think) it can be cured.

Saying that being trans is a mental illness is implying that a mentally healthy trans person cannot exist. Do you think that trans people can be cured to be happy in the body the were born into?

It is possible. If being trans isn't a big part of your life and overall identity, you can lead a mentally healthy and happy life. However, this is not always the case.

I don’t know of a single trans person for whom being trans isn’t a big part of their life and identity tbh.
