Self Made Man should be required reading for people wanting to transition to male.

There's no transitioning to the opposite sex, there's just disguise via hormones and genetics. Style comes into it too, but they'll never be the opposite sex no matter what they do. They'll be treated as such if the win the genetic lottery and pass a la buck angel or someone like that.

Even then it's still a disguise. The only real cure for gender dysphoria is death, which is why the suicide rate is so high.

Hardly. But you won't find a medical cure for what is ultimately not the sort of thing easily fixable by a doctor. Same reason why you won't ever find a pill that cures addiction.

Doesn't mean you can't move past it, or learn to live with it in a way that you are comfortable with

But when you have to live with so many of these things that life is impossible to enjoy, what's even the point? I go to bed every night hoping that day was the last one. I just got dealt a bad hand and there's not much I can do. And so has 95% of the world, even though us first-worlders don't really see it. This is why the universe is inherently evil.

Sounds like normal run of the mill depression to me.

There's no easy cure. Maybe go outside more. Use less internet. Go run a marathon or work out at the gym. Releases chemicals in the brain that makes most people happier. If all that doesn't work it might be reasonable to use depression meds but that's something to be used last.

We all get dealt bad hands from time to time and it's not equal at all some get far worse than others. But you've gotta play with the hand you've got. Game can still be fun even if you aren't winning. Just have to find that.

Yeah well this isn't one of them

Whole heartedly agree. But it should also be required reading for anyone who thinks they’re qualified to discuss men and their place in society.
