If being trans is *linked* to mental illness, but not *actually* a mental illness, what is it? Genuinely, can one of the people who answered with that plot out your logic? I’m really curious.

The answer to that is a mix of trauma, autism, and a smattering of other disorders. I didn't take the survey, but it's not an entirely inaccurate response, the amount of trans people with legitimate dysphoria is incredibly small.

Trauma is mostly seen in FtM, and transitioning is used as an escape from sexual abuse in their past especially if it happened at a young age.  The idea being 'get rid of what got me attacked' sort of. 

The rest generally fall into the "doesn't fit in/socially awkward" category and are easily influenced by groups that accept them, so they end up in trans communities and their cult like approach to the topic tends to make them feel safe and wanted so they slowly slide down the steps into transitioning.

Note: by cult like I mean they don't accept dissent, ostracize people that de-transition or question, use affirmation(hugboxing), and distance newcomers from those who are close to them at the first sign of "transphobia" (or any other -phobia or -ism) or if people try to offer non transition solutions to the problem.

Also, for some insane ass reason, gender dysphoria was declassified as a mental illness.
