Mental health issues are treated medically all the time. Drugs + therapy are common treatments for nearly all mental health issues. Who's to say that gender dysphoria (not dysmorphia) isn't treated the same?
And if someone wants to physically alter their body to match their preferred gender, what's it to you? Honestly why do you care so much? I can't help but imagine those like you as those codgy people with antiquated ideals, spewing hate and judgement because someone has tattoos or body piercings.
The only reason I care is because it's constantly being shoved down everyone's throat and I have seen so, so many trans people who are trying to make the whole world trans. That is not hyperbole. I have had trans people try to convince me that I am trans. Just because they're unhappy with what they were born with doesn't mean everyone feels that way. I've also had trans people completely disregard anything I have to say about any topic, just because I'm "cis" I'm all for fighting for fair and equal treatment of all, but I will NOT stand for that shit.
