So here is my concern, when we promote transgender or make acceptation for them are doing so with the belief that's it in their best interest or are we causing them more harm by enabling/ignoring a greater mental health issue?

John Hopkins Medicine defines Body Dysmorphic Disorder as;

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a mental health problem. If you have BDD, you may be so upset about the appearance of your body that it gets in the way of your ability to live normally. Many of us have what we think are flaws in our appearance. But if you have BDD, your reaction to this “flaw” may become overwhelming.

No where in the John Hopkins article does it recommend or even mention sex transition as a viable treatment option. Actually it cites having unnecessary surgeries as a symptom of the disorder and not a treatment or a cure. It talks more about treating the mental disorder with assistance of mental health profession to develop healthy was of living and coping with the disorder.

Now I am not shaming or bashing on Transgenders, but I do not believe in promoting transitional surge as a good treatment option and I fear it is potentially more harmful, because it causes all new problems for individuals who are already suffering from a mental illness.
