Ironically, Xavier posted one of the more telling pieces of hard evidence early in this thread:

Flip those numbers around and what it tells you is that you're dealing with a gender identity disorder so profound that more than 90% of the transsexuals who underwent surgery preferred the outcome over the body that they were born into. Speaking as a shamefully vanilla cis-hetero old white man I can't even begin to imagine being born into a body that mismatches your psychology that completely. That level of commitment underscores the stupidity and ignorance of anybody who refers to it as a "choice" or "fad".
