I'm willing to discuss terms, I guess? On the other hand, I think it is time to call it what it is. There are many mental illnesses which are just like the incorrectly perceived sexual identity. People misperceive reality in many different ways, and that is usually called mental illness.
I'm not trying to be mean. In fact, I argue that pretending it is not mental illness, and encouraging it, and forcing people who don't have it to pretend it is real...that is being mean, to both the ill and the healthy.
