"the presence of a female chest is an abnormal body structure caused by gender dysphoria..."

So... Trans kid: I feel like a boy despite not having a penis. As puberty nears I'm scared about my body becoming more womanly. Trans endocrine system listening in: BOOBIES.... ACTIVATE!!!

Yeah, according to this reasoning, trans people are not only the new superior and sacred caste, but they have super-powers that enable their mental illness to cause them to grow new body parts.

Of course, mental illness distress can indeed cause radical changes to the body. Due to depression, many people either gain or lose a lot of weight. Due to anxiety or bereavement, some people's hair falls out. Stress can cause people to break out in hives or pimples, to get shingles, or to become more susceptible to colds, flu and other illnesses such as CVD and stroke. But this is the first time I've ever heard that a mental illness or mental distress can cause someone to develop breasts or grow another new body part.
