Schizophrenia also has structural differences to the extreme of effecting organs beyond the brain. Maybe more sympathy, but open tolerance of mental illness is too far. You can't pass off a sick or impaired state as healthy just to cater to the feelings of those suffering the effects of the disease. That would be like telling someone with cancer they aren't sick, their body just grows in a different way. Which is true, but that different way is not always benign and can be fatal. Basically you can scientifically legitimize that someone is biologically transgender but that doesn't make it a healthy state of being just because it is naturally occurring. End rant/

I don't think you needed to say that.

Imagine the day when you can administer a test and definitively differentiate between the transsexual, the transvestite, and the militant LGBT. Maybe people will have more sympathy for those with the actual gender dysphoria disorder instead of thinking of them as just another flavour of gay.
