it's been frustrating that "dysphoria is a mental illness" as an insult is often countered with "no it's not"
girl yes it is. you should be saying "so what." why is the very concept of mental illness so stigmatized? how can we work to address that, instead of denying reality?
I'm sorry but however you slice it, dysphoria is a mental health condition, I don't understand how anyone can disagree with that.
