      That's the issue. Identifying as a different gender isn't a disorder, but the dysphoria that often accompanies it is.

      Dysphoria is distress, one half of "distress or impairment"

      Impairment could apply if a person has obsessive thoughts of gender transition that interfere with their daily life, but again, that isn't automatically the case. You can be unimpaired and free of distress while still identifying as transgender

      I think it would be helpful to spell out that a trans person can easily be "impaired" socially or professionally due to discrimination because of how they present. Internal turmoil and distress is not necessarily the source of impairment.

      It would helpnif you just googled the DSM. Deviant behavior and social stigma don't count.pic.twitter.com/xO6cQ33d6j

      "a symptom of dysfunction in the indivudal" is the key phrase there (from a 2013 POV, but also a modern one for many, many folks.

          Replying to @e_urq @FakeMeows and

          A psychiatrist or psychologist in 2013 could very easily say- this person is experiencing impairment because of their cross-dressing behavior, a symptom of their GID. This is a perfectly valid way of interpreting the DSM-IV criteria.
