A mental illness by any other label us still a mental illness. Instead of renaming it, treat it!!!
The World Health Organization has updated how it classifies being transgender, stating that it is not a mental illness. Instead, the term “gender incongruence” is used, and it is placed under sexual health conditions rather than mental disorders. This change reflects a shift in medical and scientific understanding of gender identity.
The reclassification was intended to reduce stigma while still allowing people access to healthcare and support.
