"These two don't follow each other. Of course transgender people deserve respect and fair treatment, like all people. I just think we have to be careful when we conflate gender variance with gender dysphoria - one is a very evolving cultural concept, the other is a major contributor to suicide in transgender individuals."

Why can't crossdressers be considered gender dysphoric? It may simply be the way that some people deal with their biological gender dysphoria. Ugh, stupid trans community politics and shit. Yay lets all argue about terminology!
