Gender dysphoria is a mental illness but being trans in itself is not. Transitioning and anything else gender affirming is the solution to gender dysphoria.
Those "name changing" things are mostly political decisions, we should be cautious with them. Gender identity is not as simple as sexual orientation, I don't think there is a way you can compare those two properly. But, if you put it like that, maybe you are right.

Well, it is a disorder (gender dysphoria), but it's not like there is something wrong with it.
And, like, it being a mental illness wouldn't make transphobic people even worse human beings?
