i think psychologists just find themselves in a very tough position, professionally.
some client comes to them, says they are a MtF,
and the psychologist ether has to play along with their delusions,
or else face the wrath of an angry tranny. who are biological men, by the way.
so whats the psychologist do?
tells the MtF that they are perfectly normal, mental health wise, and theres really no reason to continue making appointments... (move them along, above my pay grade)
so the MtF asks why everyone else assumes they are mentally ill?
and the psychologist says, "its not you, its them... they are "transphobes"
knowing good and well that the DSM-5 doesn't contain any such diagnostic.
and also knowing good and well that the psychologist will never actually have to treat a "transphobe" in a clinical setting.
It’s worse. These doctors admit it’s a mental illness and they even tell the patient this. Then they convince them that the treatment is not to learn to accept themselves and love themselves as they are, but to start expensive hormone treatments and have mutilating surgery. They tell them this is the key to happiness. These patients are seen as a cash cow.

so, the MtF gets a clean bill of mental health,
and now YOU are the crazy one.
