I would like to know why a condition such as BDD (Body dysmorphic disorder) is treated as a mental illness when Gender dysphoria is not? I would like an actual scientific response as I'm honestly curious. I would also like to know, from a scientific standpoint, if a transgender person is actually able to change their biology? I didn't believe you could but if I voice that I just get called ignorant.

>why
Cause we're about as successful as un-transing adults are we are at gay conversion therapy, which is to say not at all
So, we just treat the symptoms of dysphoria itself with some degree of transition (reassignment is not necessary for all, some are fine with just hormones or just being able to present as the opposite sex), since being trans is not an actual threat to health in itself once dysphoria is dealt with

If you have trannies less attention and would accept non politically correct (aka normal) opinions online you'd automatically see a lot less of them around. I can almost guarantee that many of them are leaping for attention because they got neglected as kids.

>Body dysmorphic disorder
BDD is a compulsive never ending anxiety about how they look. No matter how they look they will feel this way. Gender dysphoria they seem to just want to most of the time look like girls and socially be accepted as a girl. If they accomplish this their symptoms of dysphoria are way less bad. This can be seen in the lowered suicide rates and other shit when controlling for severity of gender dysphoria.
>inb4 post study that shows suicide rate higher that doesn’t control for severity
That’s why. While BDD is never ending gender dysphoria has some sort of goal. We also still treat the side effects of dysphoria like anxiety and depression mental illness themselves. This place is the worst to ask a question like this.

We treat anorexics with feeding tubes, cutting dicks off gender hysterics sounds about right.

Any type of self harm is indicative of a problem even if severity is accounted for trans people still have higher than average suicide and attempted suicide rates than average.

>inb4 Yea, but it's lowered after transitioning

Literally doesn't matter. It's a good start, but if you heard that your child had a 40% higher chance to commit suicide then I don't think that you would be satisfied knowing that it was 60% before treatment.

If a patient needs long term therapy after transitioning then that hasn't solved the problem.

I do not think this is true. Like those who suffer with BDD, nothing ever seems to be enough for those suffering from feelings of being transgender. These people tend to experience brief movements of fulfilment when they satisfy one or more aspects of their neuroses through surgery or pills, much like those suffering from BDD, but they also quickly fall back into depression afterwards. Were it not for the current political climate, I imagine mental health professionals would treat transgenderism as a form of BDD.

The difference is that people with BDD have a wrong perception of their body while people with dysphoria perceive their body without such delusion, they're "just" inherently unsatisfied with it.

All feelings are predicated on observation of one sort or another.
