Prove it's a mental illness....
To me, a mental illness is being unable to function in society. Trans people hold down jobs, have relationships, meet their obligations... frankly, the only reason they have a problem is because of people like you freaking out about them.
The hard science is that a man is not a woman, and a woman is not a man, and one cannot become the other.
There is no way around that. That's a hard, undeniable fact of biology.
To deny what is obvious and provable reality, and to firmly believe something to be true that every piece of objective evidence proves to be false is pretty much the definition of mental illness.
And no, being mentally-ill does not necessarily mean that one cannot achieve some reasonable degree of function in society. Consider the Nobel-Prize-Winning mathematician John Nash, who suffered from severe schizophrenia, delusions, and hallucinations. He held down some very demanding jobs, met his obligations, and had relationships, very much as any sane person would. (Never mind that some of his “relationships” were with people who did not actually exist.)
