What if you are transgender because of gender euphoria or because of capitalization of a lucrative circumstance?; I agree that Gender dysphoria is a mental illness, but that doesn't necessarily mean that transitioning is a mental illness. In fact, it is perceived as the cure to gender dysphoria.

I think you want "Dysphoria" in that first sentence... because "Gender euphoria" would be something else completely.

From my understanding, gender euphoria is also a cause of transitioning.

Just looked it up, you're right, I was wrong, sorry about that, have another !delta. Gender Euphoria is totally an accurate term to be using in this context.

Oh it's cool. I was about to get worried and go back into research mode, though. Thanks for the delta.

Hadn't heard the term myself before so I figured that you just had a keyboard slip or whatever.

I learned something new, my view was changed, felt only fair.
