It's a ridiculous notion. Even if you make the case for gender dysphoria/dysmorphia, it's a disorder. You were born in the right body, but you have a disorder. Ironic that modern medicine has leaned into treating the symptoms over curing the disease. Imagine if we treated cancer this way. "Oh, you don't have a disease, you're just in a cancerous body. You just need pretend you are in a non-cancerous body. Here, we'll give you plastic surgery so you don't look like you're dying."

It's a bit like legitimizing the delusions of a schizophrenic instead of starting with the premise that they are unreliable.
