This quote describes the act of identifying as a disease (or disorder) and then having an identity crisis when it's gone.
"The problem with gender dysphoria, and other mental illness as identity, is that there is no incentive to transcend toward health. To do so, is to lose one’s privileged place in the modern hierarchy."

The problem with identifying with a "disease" or "disorder" is that you end up in a position where you don't desire healing any longer.
And that problem with identifying as a "disease" or "disorder" probably goes back to the creation of the DSM (Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders).
When your emotional/mental state became a diagnosis, you start to think you're stuck with it forever. Then you start to identify AS it.
When you identify AS a "disorder" you are letting go of your responsibility to take steps to turn towards mental health. You don't think there's anything you can do to change it, and start to take on the "victim" role in the drama triangle. You're a "victim" to a disorder now and people start to "care" for you (they take on the savior role).
Once you get into that dynamic there's a perverse incentive structure that makes it so you don't want to actually get healing. If you do, you have an identity crisis and many of the friends/peers/"help" you've gathered since identifying as this disorder may turn on you. The reason for that is that they wanted to feel like the "savior" or "helper" and you actually getting help on your own and being healed means that they can't have that role any longer.
So, if you won't play the "victim" for them, they'll turn you into the "persecutor." Getting out of identifying as something (an identity crisis) is difficult, but you can/will find new peers who encourage you, once you stand your ground and lose the drama folks.
Your experiences of the world are not always a reflection of reality. Your brain has to make decisions of what to focus on, & THAT is what you perceive. Your perception is not always correct because it's not built on all data. So question what you believe. "Is it true ?"

Oftentimes on social media users will make "social comparisons." They see what other people are doing or looking like in their photos and think, "I wish I had that" or "I wish I looked like that." It's the "grass is always greener on the other side" type thinking.
Most people don't post the times when they don't look their best or when they're sick. Married couples don't post all the times they get into fights. It's easy for someone single to look at happy couple pictures on a timeline and think they'd feel better "if only they met someone."
Females may see made-up women or just filters like the ones in the video/article and feel self-conscious about their own looks. Males may see men with hard abs and wish they looked like that too. Check out the link to see how quickly some different poses and lighting can change your abs. https://www.eviemagazine.com/post/influencer-josephine-livin-reveals-truth-face-filters-body-morphing-tricks
We often miswant what others are showing on social media. I ...
If someone is criticizing you, you should ask, “Is it true?”
If it’s true, then there’s something you can do (work on it). But if it’s not true, why spend time worrying about their incorrect beliefs?
Many children internalize the criticisms they receive when younger. Some things may have been true, but they blew them up into larger problems than they were. Some critiques are just plain wrong (from people projecting their own issues onto the child).
It’s our responsibility to check to see if something is true or not. Otherwise, we’ll live a whole life thinking incorrect things about who we are.
Know Thyself.
Some misunderstand getting prayers answered or manifesting things and think it’s too easy so it must be incorrect. And they’ll ignorantly make fun of Christianity or the Law of Attraction belief that you can simply “Ask & Receive.” Of course, that comes from simplifying the belief down so much that it makes it incorrect.
In this article I discuss the caveats to getting what you ask for from both the Christian perspective and Law of Attraction perspective.

We all have limiting beliefs that can distort our view of reality. Because I deal with questioning beliefs, I more easily recognized these limiting beliefs in the "woke." I discuss how having limiting beliefs is like going through life with distorting glasses on in this article:
