Yes it's fine if we awknoledge gender disphoria as a condition. And it's fine if we have empathy towards those who suffer from it. After all strongly believing that you are something that you are not and cannot ever be is a distressing proposition.

But much like telling an alcoholic their desire to drink should be celebrated, or a pedophile desires are natural and should be celebrated, we shouldn't tolerate it, even if we can empathize with the individual and their distress.

Toleranting bad habits is enabling them.

That's exactly the opposite of professional advice for dealing with alcoholics.
