I think you said language changes above

I didn't, but it's true. Sex dysphoria isn't used widely in the vernacular. Maybe it will be. It's more accurate, I don't know why you think I'd be against it, I'm just using the common medically cited term. I hope someday you'll change the minds of the individuals who name these things, maybe the DSM 6 can have your contribution in there.

You're the one assuming the source is biased

There's a difference between assumption and fact. The one source anyone ever cites isn't from a published study, it's from a survey run by a group of privately funded radfems. And just like every privately funded think tank group, you can not, under ANY circumstances, trust their data.

Sounds like you're throwing those people, who aren't living the dream like you, under the bus.

Not sure what you want me to do. There's no bus I'm throwing people under, it's just the way it is. Short of changing the minds of every single person on the planet, it won't change.

what objective criteria can anyone use to confirm some is trans

The medical condition. That's it. If someone wants to be a woman or a man because they like the identity of it then good for them, they aren't trans. Separation of the two groups would do wonders I think, but again, there's nothing I personally can do about that.

Still, impugning a source does not refute it. You may not trust their data, but the data stands unless you can show flaws in how it was collected or other related methodological flaws.

A medical condition is diagnosed independently of what ever a patient says or does not say. Wanting something is not a medical condition. Making an unverifiable claim is also not a medical condition. It might point to a psychological condition.

Glad we agree.

If so, then how is Sex Dysphoria, wrongly called gender dysphoria to make what is it less clear and obvious, diagnosed?
