Although the notion that there is a real underlying gender identity is a delusion, it doesn't necessarily mean that transitioning is not justified.

The self-proclaimed expert returns, stating as absolute truths that which cannot be proven. And I've always thought it odd that you identify yourself in your signature as an autogynephiliac, which suggests an acceptance of Blanchard's transsexualism typology, while at the same time lecturing us that gender identity is a delusion. After all, Blanchard (and his highly suspect data) essentially reduces gender identity to that to which one is attracted.
