>No it doesn't. Like I said, the same mental illness exists in societies that don't have gender.
Would that not then be body dysmorphia, as opposed from gender dysphoria? For example, the individual would be fully 'masculine and male', and just feel wrong without a vagina - merely desiring a vagina while remaining fully "man"? That is obviously far different from a desire to be perceived as that social type typical to vagina, i.e. woman. Of course, they could have no concept of man or woman without gender.
>Then why the heck would you say "cures the problem of feeling like people are perceiving you as the wrong gender" if gender has nothing to do with it????
They said "the 6 letter word 'gender' has nothing to do with it." The gender with which we're perceived is an actuality, irrelevant are the words with which we describe it.
>Also, since it has nothing to do with gender, I should not need to call them their "preferred gender."
Again, nothing to do with the 'word' gender, but gender is an actuality. E.g 'El man' and 'La woman'.
>I'm pointing out it doesn't actually have anything to do with gender and hence "gender disphoria" is a pseudoscience lie attempting to distract you from these people's mental illness
Then what "mental illness" is it?
