If by "personal experience" you mean Am I a transgender, no, I'm not. If you mean Do I know any transgenders, yes, I do. But personal acquaintance has nothing to do with the biological fact. This gender/sex distinction is what's called a distinction without a difference, to put it politely. And as I said in my first post above, the APA has for political reasons bought into the cultural lie. So yes, psychotherapy helps transitioning, but it shouldn't. The APA in its current iteration is aiding and abetting a political falsehood.
Angel and I have been going back and forth, feel free to see https://www.debatepolitics.com/polls/283762-being-transgender-mental-disorder-10.html Post 372
My last in that thread:
What is the better path? You say therapy, but that hasn't borne out as productive. I AM trans, I lived a very normal male life. I was miserable. Therapy didn't help, therapy to transition, has. HRT has done wonders for me. I cant wait for grs. Trying your path was nearly suicide.
Angel, I had another side point to ask you, were you aware there are actual, physiological difference between men and women's brain structures?
