text: I'm glad your own experiences have made for a better life for yourself and it's great that you've been accepted, as everyone of the LGBTQ+ community should be. I do believe it's a disorder also, but I'm not saying that in a derogatory way- the question i ask really stems from the fact that I'd like to see how better we can help people live with said disorder and be happy in that disorder. Because I don't think telling trans people that what they are going through is 'normal' is going to solve that.
