Vivek Ramaswamy got it wrong; being trans isn’t a mental health disorder

Being transgender means that the biological sex you were assigned at birth does not match your gender identity.

Onstage at the second Republican presidential primary debate, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy said he wanted to be “very clear”: “Transgenderism, especially in kids, is a mental health disorder.”

Ramaswamy has said this before, but the medical community disagrees. Being transgender is not classified as a mental illness.
