for me gender dysphoria was diagnosed after meeting with both a gender care specialist and a therapist. It’s in my medical record now. But honestly, I don’t care. I’m not mentally ill, nor would I categorize this condition as such. However, I do see your point. Some would rather not have this following them around forever. While I had results on PM, I felt it was appropriate to work directly with a medical professional on HRT. The last thing I wanted was to drop dead from an @home regiment. That’s not say PM is not a safe and effective procedure. Just like anything else, there’s certain levels of risks. 

I definitely get where you are coming from as well! If it came down to it I’d rather have the diagnosis than accidentally die
