People can be wonderful and still be ill.

I find it telling that every disphoria is regarded as a pathological condition except gender disphoria. If you feel your arm does not belong to you that is considered pathological, but if you feel your penis does not belong to you that is healthy, normal and should be encouraged.

Breaking news: if your condition needs treatment then it is pathological. Anything that needs a solution is a problem: if you need to take action (suchas removing your penis) in order to feel fine then it signals you have a problem that needs a solution. So it is a pathologicalsituation whether you think disphoria is "bad" or "normal".

That said, being ill does not mean you get disqualified the same way you don't get disqualified for other pathologies. We let dissabled people drive cars after all.
