Of course it's a mental illness. It's not healthy to convince yourself you're another sex than you are. It's not healthy to willingly undergo unnecessary surgery that will make you a medical patient for the rest of your life and undergo treatment that will shorten your life just because you've convinced yourself you're of a different sex. It's not healthy to freak out because somebody refers to you as Him instead of Her, or the other way around. It's not healthy to break down because somebody uses your previous name. It's not healthy to be dysphoric to the extent of being suicidal. It's not healthy to be so engrossed in yourself that you risk your marriage and your relationship with your children and social stigmatization because of your autogynephilia.
