I think I agree with what you’re saying about separating transgender and transsexual to an extent, as far as being diagnosed. I still just don’t think transition is a good form of treatment, personally. I agree with what Houseplant was saying.

I respect your opinion. I don't mean this as a dig or complaint, but I was really hoping for solid evidence or studies that said "X is found more effective for treating early onset transsexualism than SRS or HRT", which is why I was trying to keep my wording in the post specific to that point and request. I appreciate you and everyone else sharing your own thoughts and insight, though, I'm just frustrated that no research exists to prove otherwise. In the meantime, until solid evidence is shown to the contrary or challenges this, I continue to believe that SRS and HRT are the most effective treatment forms for some forms of transsexualism and a combination of sex/gender dysphoria.
