While I do think there needs to be a clear distinction between GD trannies vs. non-GD trannies (e.g. AGP trannies), I still wrestle with the fact that "Gender Dysphoria" is nonsense. Why is it nonsense? Because a man will never know what it's like to be a woman, and vice versa. So they have no frame of reference to make the comparison. It is absolutely impossible for any human being to honestly say "I feel like the opposite sex". They simply don't have all the data to make that claim.

But if people were ever to be honest about this phenomenon, they'd call it what it really is: an immense unhappiness with society's general rejection of their preferred gender expression. And we can work with that. But the trannies don't want that because then they'd be forced to concede psychiatric treatment is the right course of action. No, they'd much rather mutilate themselves and convince us all to live in fantasy land with them.

We need to stop using the word 'gender', and absolutely reject any talk of transition due to not conforming to stereotypes. Being gender-nonconforming is perfectly acceptable to most people. We certainly shouldn't be permanently modifying kids based on preferences for clothing/toys that will almost certainly change over time.

Shouldn't 'body dysmorphia' cover those who are convinced that the only path to happiness is extreme body modification?...

It's a bit more than dysmorphia. It can't be a coincidence when the "dysmorphia" affects all sexual characteristics, and it also extends to hormonal and mental functions.

Does it matter tho? If the treatment for somebody who wants to live without arms is not cutting his arms, why is the treatment for someone who wants to become a girl cutting his dick?

As a last resort, sometimes the only option is amputating his arms. I also think that while loss of the arms is a huge impairment, loss of the dick isn't really.
