A little off topic, but I wonder how would you distinguish genuine identity trauma and 'addiction' and delusion of trannyism?
For example, I was intentionally misdiagnosed with a mental condition by munchie parents (Unlike physical-illness munchies, it is very easy to convince a Dr to slaps psychiatric labels on kids and get them hand out drugs like candies) and spent my whole childhood hating the label and the treatment that came with it. Then I grew up and took the matter in my hand and visits a few psychiatrists to assess me again and they don't think that the old diagnosis is applicable and had the label revoked. But then I'd still get upset if people call me or assume I have that condition - Is this dissociation or genuine trauma? Do I have some serious issues for not accepting the diagnosis that wasn't helpful to me.
(Neurodiversity advocates would call that internalised ableism and think that the new doctors who removed my misdiagnosis are incompetent)
the thing about mental and some neurodevelopmental disorders are that they're purely diagnosed by subjective checklist. There's nothing on the 'reality' side like how troons are just a male man in a dress.
I don’t think it’s a case of identifying one from the other, more that it’s all a mish-mash and unpicking it and resolving the root cause can make the other stuff go away too (treating the ‘disease’ ie the trauma makes the ‘symptoms‘ ie the cross-sex identity, go away).
Lots of childhood labels no longer seem appropriate once the child has grown up, sometimes this is because it’s a developmental disorder and the person eventually catches up with the peer group (a kid that is slow to walk/talk/toilet train might well be wetting the bed at 11 but you need serious cognitive or physical impairment to still be wearing a nappy at 1

and sometimes because age indicates a more appropriate differential diagnosis (eg personality disorders and schizophrenia aren’t considered a legitimate diagnosis until 16 at the earliest). I don’t think your refusal of a potentially inappropriate childhood diagnosis necessarily indicates anything, perhaps whatever caused your symptoms has already been resolved?
If you chimp out when someone makes a joke about spergery in your vincinity you might find talking to a counsellor about residual anger at your parents to be useful, or some cognitive behaviour therapy, or maybe just pulling up your big-grown-up-britches and reminding yourself that the past is the past and you are a fully functioning adult beyond your parents control and without an unsuited label is enough?
Regarding AGP it’s worth remembering that AGP starts as a sexual fetish but can lead to genuine gender dysphoria - this 2017 article by Bailey and Blanchard is interesting
https://4thwavenow.com/2017/12/07/gender-dysphoria-is-not-one-thing/ (scroll down for the AGP section) but I would say already out of date and that a combo of role play games/internet porn and uwu asspats has resulted in further subtypes of AGP and AGPs ‘coming out’ as trans at a much younger age (and the new FtM transitioning specifically to be a gay man stuff).
Blanchard and Bailey no longer routinely undertake clinical practice or academic research with trans people due to being the devil incarnate in the eyes of transactivists (see also doctors Richard Curtis, Russell Reid and Kenneth Zucker - the transborg devours all it’s favoured medical professionals eventually) so they aren’t keeping up with recent developments.
Anyway, here is professional British tranner Shon Faye shouting over Blanchard and slandering Zucker as a paedo on live telly.
This is why gender clinics struggle to recruit staff, frankly:
