The difference between being trans and being gay is that you don't have to hold any false beliefs to be a homosexual. Homosexuality is a desire/action, and being trans is a belief. Being a man or a woman is a physical reality that you can accept or deny, but denying it doesn't change your chromosomes. You don't have to hate yourself or change anything about yourself to be gay, but that's the entire point of being trans. Not to mention the fact that by pretending a trans person is the sex they wish to be, you're defining woman and man by sexist stereotypes. Being trans is a mental illness because believing you're the opposite sex is a delusion. People can argue that homosexuality is wrong if they want to, but gay people aren't deluded.
