Because Schizophrenia is easily treated with medication and has nothing to do with a severe phobia for your entire body. Schizophrenia is to be confused in what's real and what's not. For example my friend with Schizophrenia still asks if ET exists. He struggle to understand that what happens in a movie isn't all real. Doing surgery on his body would make zero difference. However some get electro shock therapy for it still.


Body dysmorphia is a phobia, as in severe fear. And to fear and feel constantly threaten by your own body is making most people with this condition suicidal.
They can go a therapeutic treatment they can get anxiety meds but that's rarely enough, so the most common help is surgery.

And it's not like you can just sign up and say "Hey, I wanna do a surgery cause I hate my body" it takes years of therapy and doctor evaluations and tests and you must turn 18 before this can even be an considered a future option. So anyone who are impulse thinking or just following a transition trend will not put up with the process, only those who actually need it will.

I don’t have an issue with trans people. I do feel a level concern with the prevalence currently amount youth in particular as there is a social learning component to it at the moment. Which is probably going to make me sound horrible. But it’s just my observation. I do think there are sometimes other undiagnosed mental health issues at play. There are a lot of steps to go through to get any physical changes under 18 though. If you’re an adult then why should anyone else care 🤷‍♀️

I know a couple of people who have had gender dysmorphia (female to male) and at least in the UK you have to go through a lot of steps before physical surgery.

That includes therapy and hormone treatments. only then can you get physically altered withthe waiting time for surgery lasting years.

There are quite a few other mental health issues that get turned into surgery. Mainly around unhappines at cosmetic appearance.

Characterizing it as mutilation seems unfair. If you're born with a club foot or cleft palate the treatment is surgical correction. The natural response to growing up with either of these uncorrected would understandably be significant mental distress.

Gender dysphoria is the equivalent mental response to being born in the wrong body.

there is a term "gender dysphoria"
there is the term "body dysmorphia"

where did you get term "gender dysmorphia"?

___

further, on topic and without emotion:

the formation of secondary sexual characteristics occurs between the ages of 10 and 16.

the best age for trance transition is before the age of 10.

___

to make the transition or not to make the transition?

the answer depends on whether the person is transgender or not.

until scientific methods make it possible to detect with great accuracy the signs of transgenderism in a person, no one will be able to answer this question.

___

there is nothing more to discuss here, but if you really want to, you can...

So you’re against circumcision?

He also can't define man and woman beyond "Identifies as a man/woman" dude is an idiot.

Because people are hypocrites. They support amoral things. My question to you is, are you willing to tell your best friend that they have a mental issue? I remember you saying your best mate is trans.

It is not a mental condition, you imbecile. This has nothing to do with psychology, and everything to do with brain structure and hormones. That is a thing you would know had you done even a fraction of the research you claim to have done.

Well, looky here. I unblock you after the mandatory minimum one month period, and within 5 minutes I find you harassing people and publicly calling them out because you don't like having your bullshit deleted from their posts. What a shocker.
