But the risk in public opinion you allude to is not that they have a mental disorder, but that the entire idea of transgenderism is a hoax. Such a thing would be far more damaging to trans people than pronouns.
The thing is they don't have a disorder, or rather they have one that is cured by transitioning. But of course that isn't acceptable and you need to fight and exacerbate all mental disorders as much as possible. So they know their place.
