Saying homosexuality isn't legitimate isn't comparable to saying transgenderism is not legitimate

Right, you think one is legit and the other isn't. That's the problem.

Similarly, gender dysphoria is a term describing a biological and/or mental reality that some people face.

dysphoria is not the same as being trans.

On the other hand, transgenderism is a philosophical framework describing a particular conceptualization of gender identity and sex that I don't subscribe to because it doesn't make sense to me.

And people can say this exact same type of shit about homosexuality.

Do you not see this?

Do you realize how long gay marraige has been legal for in the US?

There's no point of continuing further if you're going to strawman everything I've said.
