Which are the cases when transition can bring more benefits than malus? Is it worth not transition medically when you need it?

I don’t understand your question or what you’re getting at because on one hand, you are asking if foregoing transition can be the right decision but then you go on to list all of the reasons why people mistake themselves as trans because of this that and the other. You propose one needs physical dysphoria but fail to define or draw out the extent to which this needs to be a thing to warrant a diagnosis.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but it seems like your post isn’t really posing a question about whether it’s worth it or not to transition, but more just a series of statements and beliefs you hold to assert that you value a transmedical approach over other approaches -or- that you think or wish doctors had some sort of black and white scale with which to measure a person’s dysphoria (they don’t - psychology is still a relatively new field in which we are learning more and more each decade) before the person is permitted to transition. There are countless problems with this model, but that goes without saying.

In any case, this doesn’t feel like it can lead to a very productive exchange.
