Dim

If being transgender were a mental illness you wouldn't find us in every social class, age group, profession and culture. There are transgender people in every area of society and at every IQ and education level. However, selling pathology has been extremely convenient because anomalies on such a small scale which tend to rattle the very foundations of societal convention, are simply too ripe to be free of attack.

Even as I possess a natural aversion to being corralled into communities, I despise even more the ignorance that sees openings for lazy and low grade mockery. One of the features that made the original researchers of this topic stand out was their drive based on curiosity which was also bolstered by empathy. Today any dim-witted idiot on the internet can liberally borrow ideas without properly being able to analyze the original source material. Again, it's stupidity mixed with malevolence that tends to get my goat.

There simply aren't enough hours in the day to educate these dullards.
