The difficulty is in determining who is transsexual and who isn't. If you truly are a transsexual then the only effective treatment is to transition. Absolutely everything else has been tried. And believe me, the medical establishment did try. They have historically been extremely hostile to transsexuals.
That's not true according to the study i posted a few pages back. "distress" is alleviated when the patient is comfortable with whatever sexual assignment he or she wishes to obtain. For some that means varying degrees of gender reassignment while other seek to be comfortable in their own bodies.
Or are you saying all GID people should be forced to under go gender reassignment even if the want to learn to live how they were born?
