Yes, "Gender dysphoria is a mental health disorder". And Yes, having people so screwed up with the hormones, and the pain and suffering, both mental and physical from the complicated and unnecessary surgeries and indoctrination, possessing a firearm is a recipe for disaster. Just like having people on SSR's (anti-depressant drugs) owning a firearm is a recipe for disaster.
But don't lose sight of the root issues here, and the need to combat them.

I found exceedingly rich, white men with enormous cultural influence are funding the transgender lobby and various transgender organizations. These include but are not limited to Jennifer Pritzker (a male who identifies as transgender); George Soros; Martine Rothblatt (a male who identifies as transgender and transhumanist); Tim Gill (a gay man); Drummond Pike; Warren and Peter Buffett; Jon Stryker (a gay man); Mark Bonham (a gay man); and Ric Weiland (a deceased gay man whose philanthropy is still LGBT-oriented). Most of these billionaires fund the transgender lobby and organizations through their own organizations, including corporations.

What is rapid onset gender dysphoria?
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/what-is-rapid-onset-gender-dysphoria“Rapid onset gender dysphoria” (ROGD) is a term derived from a theory that social influence and flawed coping mechanisms may contribute to gender dysphoria. Many experts object to the term and consider it harmful.
It hypothesized that ROGD might occur due to social influence from peer groups and social media use in combination with limited coping mechanisms to deal with strong or negative emotions."

The author proposed that rapid-onset gender dysphoria could be the result of social and peer contagion. In other words, young people might present themselves as gender dysphoric because of exposure to gender dysphoric friends or gender dysphoric individuals in the media. Social and peer contagion are established constructs that have been associated with a number of mental health concerns and risky behaviors among adolescents. (A separate example of social contagion would be the way that young people are more likely to start smoking if they hang out with other peers who smoke.)
The author also suggested that the growth of social media channels run by individuals who were happier after a gender transition might suggest to youth with less specific behavioral health symptoms or general discontent that gender transition could be a way to solve those problems. As such, the goal of her paper was "to describe an atypical presentation of gender dysphoria occurring with sudden and rapid onset in adolescents and young adults; and to generate hypotheses about the condition, including the role of social and peer contagion in its development."
