Talking about it as a mental disorder implies, to me, that we are mentally ill. That is the basis upon which people have been institutionalized, treated with drugs such as anti-psychotics, and told that they are sick and need to be treated. That "treatment" has screwed up so many trans people and led to many suicides. A mental disorder is something to be treated by fixing the person's mind, not their body. So I hate that it is classified this way.
