Everything you said above should reference "gender identity disorder," not "gender dysphoria."

The latter has no diagnostic criteria and accepts even the most frivolous self-reports as sufficient to commence hormonal treatment that very day, even when the patient is severely mentally ill, as many are.

Most people I talk to, even medically educated people, believe that treatment doesn't begin until after a rigorous diagnosis and a year living as the opposite sex. Neither has been required since 2013.
