I think it is wrong to inflict self harm in order to match a perverse self-image.

And you define transitioning as self-harm, and being transgender as perverse.

This is a problem.

I don't distinguish between the mind and the body

You know when I say mind I mean that as synonymous with brain right? So that means you do, because that's why you say being transgender is a malfunction of the brain, and it's what needs to be changed.

I'm not interested in buzzwords like "brainwashing". I don't view hypothetical treatments of the brain to address feelings of gender dysphoria any differently that I'd view treating the brain for other psychological or perception-based disorders. Sometimes the brain malfunctions and needs medical treatment.

And sometimes a person is born with a body that is fucked up in some way.

So why do you take the side of the body over the brain when a dispute happens? You have yet to adequately answer this. Both the brain and the body can be wrong. Why do you think it is the brain this time? Why is being transgender a disorder?
