No, being transgender is not classified as a mental illness. According to the American Psychiatric Association, being transgender is a variation of human experience, and it is not in itself indicative of mental illness. However, transgender individuals may experience a range of mental health concerns, such as depression, anxiety, or gender dysphoria, which is a distress caused by a mismatch between a person's gender identity and the sex assigned to them at birth. It is important to support and provide appropriate care for individuals who may be struggling with mental health issues, including transgender individuals.

I apologize if my previous response was not clear. Let me clarify: identifying as transgender is not considered a mental illness or disorder according to the American Psychiatric Association. Gender dysphoria, which is the distress that some transgender individuals may experience due to the mismatch between their gender identity and assigned sex at birth, was previously categorized as a mental disorder but has been reclassified as a "diagnosis related to sexual health" in the most recent version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). It is important to understand and respect that being transgender is a valid aspect of diversity and not inherently indicative of mental illness.
