“Gender dysphoria can in large part be alleviated through treatment,’ states the World Professional Association for Transgender Health in its Standards of Care. […] Transgender people are not deluded, […] they are suffering; therefore, medical professionals have a duty to ease that suffering. In this view, dysphoria is more akin to a herniated disc — a source of debilitating but treatable pain.”
