nope lol are you in the medical community or are you getting this from twitter activists? gender identity is accepted as different from sex and because males and females are different so its possible that some people may have gender dysphoria (which is literally a mental disorder like body dysmorphia). nobody disagrees with all that. but 100 different genders and non-binary is not accepted by science. believing in that is like believing in creationism and flat earth at the same time.

The American Psychiatric Association and the DSM-5 on gender dysphoria: https://www.psychiatry.org/File%20Library/Psychiatrists/Practice/DSM/APA_DSM-5-Gender-Dysphoria.pdf https://www.psychiatry.org/File%20Library/Psychiatrists/Prac... Notable points: Gender nonconformity is explicitly not a disorder. Gender dysphoria is, but only in "the presence of clinically significant distress associated with the condition." Approved treatments for gender dysphoria explicitly include "transition" and "hormone therapy, related surgery." The other major classification system, the United Nations World Health Organization's ICD, has similar language. Feel free to look it up.

    Your first link doesn't actually support your argument at all. And Twitter doesn't affect the DSM, the ISD, or the worldwide medical consensus. As I said, you're allowed to believe whatever you want. Science doesn't care about your feelings.
