Isn't part of dysmorphia that you NEVER feel your body is correct? If you can in fact modify it such that you feel it is acceptable, then you haven't got dysmorphia.

Thing is, you can't. Gender benders have to literally spend the rest of their lives dosing on synthetic hormones--- and even then their bodies are only an approximation of the gender they are imitating.
They feel better, at least on the surface, because their delusions are being pandered to.

So if we find a way to permanently change a human body from male to female, or vice versa - completely functional, indistinguishable on anything but a genetic level from a natural member of the gender - would you stop viewing it as a mental disorder?

It seemed to me that the anonymous poster was saying that dysmorphic people never feel that their body is correct, but transgendered folk do, once they've changed to the extent that modern medicine allows.
