They're not. "Unusual" is neutral, "abnormal" refers to disease and disorder.

This is why the trans advocacy community has such a deep seated fear and loathing of privileged spokespeople.

I'm not trying to argue or point fingers but it says "typically". That doesn't mean by definition. It's just commonly used to describe undesirable or worrying things.
I know it seems like I'm nitpicking but I just try to be as factual as possible. Seriously, I am not doing this to be a douche. I'm just pointing out what I see.

"Typically" means "usually", not "occasionally". Connotations are important. Abnormality is a term used to describe undesirable, pathological traits and behaviors. I challenge you to find an intellectually credible source using that word in a neutral sense.

How convenient you forgot to leave out the synonyms from the exact source you supplied. Looks like Unusual is the first synonym.
abnormal
deviating from what is normal or usual, typically in a way that is undesirable or worrying. "the illness is recognizable from the patient's abnormal behavior"
synonyms:unusual, uncommon, atypical, untypical, nontypical, unrepresentative, rare, isolated, irregular, anomalous, deviant, divergent, aberrant, freak, freakish.

Connotations matter. Note the presence of "freak" among those synonyms of "abnormal". That's not there for "unusual".

Dude you will just never admit that you are wrong. They are the same fucking words. They are interchangeable.
Unusual and Abnormal are fucking synonyms.

Why is everyone ignoring Gender Dysmorphic Disorder aka Gender Dysphoria? DSM-5 verified mental illness, i've got problems too but I don't pretend like i'm not fucked up. It's okay I don't care what you do with your body but let's not pretend like this isn't a disease.

When it favors them, it is not a mental illness. When they are defending it, it is a mental illness. It's impossible to argue in these threads.

Synonymous does not equal interchangeable. Here you are trying to comment on complex issues such as mental illness and societal oppression when you don't understand elementary semiotics. This exchange has been completely useless and a waste of my time. I swear to god I feel like a remedial grammar instructor around here at times.

Gender dysphoria isn't a mental illness. "Gender identity disorder" used to be considered a mental illness by the DSM, but was dropped because its primary symptom, gender dysphoria, can be resolved by medical treatment.
The disproportionate health and social issues that trans people suffer are not due to some mental illness on their own part, but due to institutional negligence and abuse such as the withholding of care by medical providers who are influenced by negative stereotypes such as those propagated throughout this thread.
Being trans is not a mental illness, it is a natural variation of human sex differentiation.

What's wrong with mental illness? You know how many people have depression or anxiety disorders in the world? A LOT. There are many more depressed people then trans people but we don't call depressed people a "natural variation" of a human baseline personality. They have a disease. It is what it is, it's not the end of the world and if you want to lop your dick off and take hormones it's all good it's not my business, but it's natural? Come onnnnnnnnnnnnn

I'm not trying to stigmatize mental illness here. I am merely using precise language. Gender dysphoria is a psychiatric symptom, similar to anxiety; anxiety is a mood, not a mental disorder. When anxiety is frequent enough to constitute a mental disorder it is called "generalized anxiety disorder". Most people, however, get anxiety from time to time without it being a symptom of an underlying mental disorder. Gender dysphoria is not a symptom of an underlying mental disorder, but stems directly from the mistreatment of trans people by social institutions across the board.
Did you read the rest of my post? Gender dysphoria isn't a mental illness if it can be resolved through medical means. Mental illnesses can not be resolved through medical means. That is why they are called mental illnesses and not medical illnesses.
