> But they mean it in the sense that they should be in an asylum or should not be catered to.
I have often heard it in a sense of "should not be catered to but rather given medical help". A fellow student once told me that he considers the current way of treating gender dysphoria irresponsible and that, if we'd treat schizophrenia the way we treat gender dysphoria, we'd all have to aknowledge the voices they hear and pretend we hear them too.
I didn't know how to respond to that. I still don't, actually. My knowledge about anything mental health is quite limited.
