If something is in the DSM5, all that means is "We've identified an unusual pattern of thinking that we can monetize". That doesn't necessarily mean it's a medical condition.
...which is exactly what people keep getting told being transgender means. But believing that is so bad now that it has a derogatory term attached to it that's pronounced "true scum."
Another chapter in the tragic saga of identity politics. I've heard this story before. Marginalize a group, villainize the oppressors, demand accommodation. Fuck that game.
For what it's worth, there's a lot of pretty interesting neurological evidence to suggest gender dysphoria exists

Massive eye roll
But whether gender dysphoria exists doesn't really matter at this point because people who believe it's required to be transgender are being called truscum pieces of shit.
Because dissenting opinions, fact based arguments, and adherence to provable science is scummy. Right
