I didnt just trust someone's opinion. I tried for well over 30 years to seek counseling to be able to function in life as male and for help for my gender identity issues from more traditional people. This included my parents, my uncles, clergy, Christian based therapists and coaches while I was at school. None of this helped. I finally started going to a gender therapist and now am more accomplished in life then I ever was in the past.
My decision to transition is based on what is working in my life and not on anyone's opinion.
So, in many of the cases you state, you went back to the people who created the environment that screwed you up in the first place to get it fixed. Assuming of course it can be fixed beyond a certain point.
