it's not to "validate feelings", its to diagnose a legitimate condition where one's brain does not match ones body, leading to body dysmorphia, which is a legitimate condition that ails people. this system would officially recognize where people actually ARE trans (i.e. having a body that doesn't match "who they are", i.e. their brain). It would recognize that this IS a legitimate issue that people have, and would allow people to be identified properly.

Please check the DSM entry for gender dysphoria. There is nothing about brain and body mismatch. Stop trying to redefine medical categories to suit your political agenda.

Gender dysphoria (GD) is the distress a person experiences as a result of the sex and gender they were assigned at birth.

As I said, assign gender at birth, and then allow them to change this if the gender they were assigned does not match the one they should have.
