That's a surprising stance of moral absolutism which I doubt you carry into the rest of the aspects of your life. If you look at medical assertions and how they have changed over the years they are absolutely in line with the cultural assertions that come from a religious and political viewpoints. This is also why they vary broadly around the world based upon the cultures. You merely need to study different cultures around the world and view what they believe and see what they consider normal and deviant behavior as it relates to what is mentally normal and mentally deviant from a health perspective.
Let me provide you with an extreme example because you're not seeming to understand that there can be small variances everywhere so this extreme example should demonstrate exactly the point that culture deems what is mentally healthy behavior or not.
In most other societies especially any western society this not only would be considered criminal behavior but it would also be considered mentally deviant behavior. It would indicate a problem with mental health to engage in this behavior and promote it.
So it is quite clear to anyone that a culture through its religion and political power makes a determination on behaviors and the outcome of that determination is around mental health.
So the assertion that some people may have that transgenderism is a mental health disorder and their religious and political viewpoints are the reason they have around it isn't really that far-fetched considering what goes on in the world. I think if you simply look at the Facebook posts that do not get people banned that are asserting that in a political and or religious context transgenderism is a mental health disorder it's plain to see that is absolutely what Facebook is doing. They are carving out this exception allowing political and religious discourse around this. Because your cultural understanding is not the world's cultural understanding.
