Mental illnesses are often defined by the degree of anguish they cause the patient.

If someone cannot exist happily without being validated as the sex other than the one they are in real life then this is the very definition of a mental illness.

If someone isn't distressed then who gives a fuck that they get euphoria boners from their fetish.
