Yes! I agree with everything you have said completely. On that last bit, I’d also add on depression and eating disorders. There is far too much overlap.

YES, the amount of gender dysphoric patients who have had eating disorders i think needs to be discussed and looked into more, its staggering.

Yes, and in some honest cases probably BDD, PTSD. Basically there’s a whole gambit of unchecked mental illnesses and trauma that plague those are sincere in their feelings, even if I disagree with how those feelings are coming out and explained by them. The eating disorders being neglected especially is criminal to me, being how destructive eating disorders can be and typically in people with ED + Depression I am told the ED is given the priority. For some reason, throw in a gender identity and the ED comes in second- despite them being the more deadly/damaging family of conditions than gender dysphoria by far.
