Because its accepted that the body is wrong, not the mind. The transgender brain is supportive of this.

That's a matter of perspective. "The mind and the body do not match" would be a neutral way of expressing this

I'm talking about a perspective - that of the current treatment of gender dysphoria by transitioning. I know that very many others disagree.

Yes, but this is the language of it. The body is the problem. They don't say 'We'll do this coz we can't fix your brain.'

I don't know what you mean. You think they only take this attitude coz they can't change people's brains? That this would be the default?

But changing the brain results in loss of some elements of self - we're much more cautious about modifying brains.
