This disorder is impossible to eradicate because humanity can never erase the concept of gender. As long as there are people being born male or female you will have a society trying to impose its expectations on them. That pressure will always make some people miserable and they will pursue transition

    I think what he's saying is it's damn-near impossible to keep cultures from creating gender roles, because humans center everything around sex and reproduction.

    That's not a disorder. That's called gender non-conforming. A disorder is living in a foreign/deformed body 24/7 and probably wanting to kill yourself because of it, and not because someone accidentally called you the wrong pronoun. It's most likely caused by certain genetic defects. That needs to be eliminated. So does sexism, but that's another topic.

    I dont believe that discomfort has a biological source. You wouldn't feel like your body is foreign or deformed if you hadn't other people telling you how a man or a woman should look like, what life they should have or how they should behave. In an environment with no human society, gender dysphoria can't exist, you would feel neutral about your body.

    No, I wouldn't, and in fact I didn't until I figured out that pretty much all the parts of my body that don't seem right to me are sex differences. It would actually be easier if I could change sexes only in my point of view. I have no social reason to make the switch, in fact quite the contrary.

    Most of the people who have this problem have some genetic defects in common. You can't just chalk that up to coincidence. Especially when it turns out those same genes are involved with neurological development from hormones.

    Wrong. Gender is bullshit, peddled by pedos from the very beginning. Bully people who mention it seriously IRL for a few generations and at least the obnoxious troonery will go back in the closet
