It depends on your sexual orientation. Seek the advice of those who were where you are now, but are now where you want to be. This goes for anything really.

Does "therapy" need elaboration? A lot of people (mostly women) get therapy nowadays, even people who don't seem to need it. If most desist then there is something hindering those who don't.

As far as I know "gender dysphoria" isn't real anymore. In the olden days it was customary to lay the blame of any mental health problems on gender non-conformity (which is a broad term that includes cross-gender identification), but now we know better.

Just have your therapy target your sexual identity rather than "gender".

I was asking for elaboration, it "needing" elaboration is a question of semantics or philosophy. I'm just trying to keep focus on what my actual original question was: asking for documented evidence and examples of successful treatment for early onset transsexualism. People have offered their opinions on what they believe may be effective, what they feel may be effective, what they think others may be effective, their criticism of current treatment options, their beliefs and opinions on the concepts of gender and gender identity and gender dysphoria and transsexualism, but no one has offered what I originally actually asked for. As I'm pushing for what I actually asked for, I seem to be getting met with a resounding "we don't have that information, but it exists and you need to find it yourself", or "we have that information, but we aren't going to share it".
