The most important thing is to clarify the facts - that you cannot "transition" into whichever sex you want, and that if you want to go through a lot of money and difficult medical procedures to cosmetically mimic the other sex, you are causing serious and long term consequences for yourself. We should stop calling it "transition" or "reassignment" or "affirmation" since that really makes it sound like you can switch to the other team or something. It's deep cosmetic surgery.

Generally I'd agree with your approach in terms of therapeutic methods, but what really matters is clarity of what the options and risks are...
