    cannot be resolved through therapy or socialization/conversion therapy

    I’d go further, and say that anything that needs “just” therapy, is also a medical condition.

    The mentality of “as long as it lets you work, it doesn’t matter whether you suffer or not” is pretty inhumane, IMHO.

      In a sense, yeah. Though things like trauma and PTSD are caused by experiences, where as being trans is probably more akin to being intersex. But yeah, no argument that mental health should be treated as seriously as physical health. Many societies fall short in treating either as particularly important.
