So it fits "essentially every individual", except the example I just gave? Come on, even Freudian psychoanalysis has a better success rate than that.

> the excruciating process of transition

I have only ever seen people describe transition with words like "excruciating" for two reasons:

• Social barriers, e.g. medical gatekeeping, transphobic bigotry.

• Believing in the Blanchard or 4chan classification systems, and constantly judging themselves accordingly.

Please don't hold onto this so tight. It's not healthy, and there's zero evidence that it's even remotely true.

Could you please stop taking this thread down a generic tangent, which is inevitably a generic flamewar tangent? This is a Show HN thread about t4t's new forum.
