The disorder itself is not made up, which is clear from my comment where I stated that it's a relatively rare mental illness (therefore acknowledging it's real), but it becomes made up if an individual who doesn't have that disorder pretends to have it in order to appease a group or belong to a group, thinking having that disorder will raise their social clout.

i can't check the original comment right now but i distinctly remember you writing about gender dysphoria being a "made-up mental illness". and as another commenter just pointed out you agreed with that opinion under a different response. besides, what does this have to do with the article's topic?
