you can't say 'my ideology has existed since ___" and then provide sources from times where people ostensibly did not call it that. sure, it's the same concept, but trying to change your gender isn't exactly the most original idea, now is it doctor faggots?
the concept already existed, and people, including those effected, knew it was a mental illness.
if a mental illness is so obviously, a mental illness, that doctors could gather that in the 80's, it's a pretty fucking stark mental illness.
the idea that it's in the same vein as homosexuality was put fourth by mentally ill trannies looking for legitimacy because they don't want to be seen as mentally ill trannies.
