Mental health issues are quite stigmatized in the US. The brain is a part of the body that requires preventative and routine healthcare as well. Being trans isn't a mental illness on its own. They are just more prone to develop certain social and mood disorders in coping with social stigma and expectations. Not all trans people develop those mental issues. No one really experiences dysphoria the same way either. I cannot speak for all trans people any more than a single person can speak for all men or women, or all heterosexual people, or all white people or people of color. Humanity is diverse like that.
