how many times have you retreated
While I do agree that gender dysphoria is a serious condition and that Alightsoul is attention seeking - I think it's in bad faith to deny it being a culture-bound syndrome.
This doesn't mean much though - as Depression was classified as a culture bound syndrome too before larger scale globalization.
Read this quote for reference:
Depression for example, was once only accepted in western societies, however it is now recognised as a mental disorder in all parts of the world. In contrast to Eastern civilizations such as Taiwan, depression is still much more common in Western cultures like the United States. This could indicate that globalisation may have an impact on allowing disorders to be spread across borders, however these disorders may remain predominant in certain cultures.
Homosexuality is a lot more common in eastern cultures than Gender Dysphoria, it's simply been in our culture for a lot longer - and it's not just "they're too afraid to come out as trans", there really are just less of them.
Maybe you could even make the argument that white people are more genetically predisposed to gender dysphoria, but that's another story.
Something being "social" in nature is not necessarily a bad thing, and it doesn't make it less real or important in any way.
Education is a "social contagion", same with language itself.
