Yes it is, the fact is that there are the real sufferers of gender dysmorphia, and there are the narcissists who're doing it for the attention. It's pretty fucking binary and you can easily tell the difference because the latter group tends to obsessively seek the spot-light, whereas the former group tends to sink into the background and prefers not to be noticed.Again, it's not a binary on/off switch.
That's only because you don't actually understand the meaning of the words you're using, someone with gender dysmorphia would almost certainly seek surgery if it was available to them, because the key word in gender dysmorphia is fucking dysmorphia.Gender and Biological Sex aren't the same thing. They are usually linked, but not always. Yes somebody with body dysmorphia would generally want surgery. Somebody with gender dysmorphia not necessarily.
No that's just a transvestite, which is just a form of paraphilia, or more recently a form of narcissism, or a combination of both. It used to just be people with psychosexual disorders but as being trans has become more popular as a classification it has naturally attracted narcissists the same way that dung attracts flies.If somebody is fine with having a penis, but wants to wear dresses, makeup, have long hair, and live as feminine people do... that's ok. That's a trans woman. A trans woman can ALSO be someone who wants to completely change their body entirely through surgery.
The problem is that most narcissists don't actually have the resolve required to go all the way and commit to mutilating their bodies, they want the attention that comes with being trans but most of them aren't willing to give up body parts to get it. A good example of this would be Dylan Mulvaney, he's been seeking this kind of attention for years, long before he ever identified himself as trans. Just taking a cursory glance at his personal history is enough to immediately identify him as a narcissist, identifying as trans is just the natural next step of his mental disorder.
Then there's the people that identify as trans for personal gain, like Lia Thomas, who almost certainly have some form of anti-social personality disorder.
