I agree about the access to deadly weaponry. As gender dysmorphia/phoria (whatever) is considered a mental disorder, it should preclude someone owning/buying a gun. You want gun control, there you go.

Also, I used to suffer from body dysmorphia as a bodybuilder. As time went on, my previous "biggest ever" felt small: At 5'9" and 225lbs with abs, I felt big at first, then a few months later, mostly small. When I added another 20lbs of muscle I saw myself as decently big, but that didn't last either... Still, dysmorphia is more of a habit than a mental illness, you just lose perspective by being too much into your body image mindset.

Dysphoria OTOH means, "not able to be happy with" as in, "I'm born in the wrong body" and that's a whole other can of worms­.
