That seems quite harsh. You’re basically telling systems that they’re either faking it or it’s a problem, but why are you the arbiter of that? It feels similar to transphobes or homophobes saying being trans/gay is either fake or something you should “fix”. You’re getting very close to using the medical system to enforce social standards on people who don’t conform to them under the guise of “disorder” where the patient is actually fine.
Sorry, there is an unspoken ‘in my option’ in what I said. I am not a medical professional, so no one should think that is the case. In fact probably no one in this discussion is qualified to express an opinion by that measure.
What do you mean by ‘telling systems’?

“systems” is just the term for a group on one body.
And by “in my opinion” I think you mean “if I had it”? An opinion can still be harmful as outspoken bigots prove.
