The state of trans healthcare is currently in flux. Treatment is based off of studies done when persistent dysphoria occurred in 1 in 10,000 men and 1 in 30,000 women. Today, it’s over 2% of teens, and it predominantly afflicts girls. Also the treatment model for teens was based on a dutch study that vigorously screened applicants for other mental health disorders and only included very early onset dysphoria (since toddlerhood) whereas today, 90% of young patients have other psychiatric comorbidities with dysphoria largely presenting during or after puberty.…the state of trans healthcare research…
So it’s basically a dumpster fire. As a result of this, most EU countries are changing treatment models and there is growing pushback in the US medical community to change it here as well and move away from simple informed consent. There’s a good overview at https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/958742. It’s paywalled but you can find the full text over at TERF island: https://ovarit.com/o/GenderCritical...ians-are-incredibly-refreshing-to-see-time-to
If you are earnest in your desire to be free from dysphoria, I suggest reaching out to the users at r/detrans (they have a discord as well). They are by and large girls (though some boys), on the spectrum (or they suspect they are), and chronically online, which I suspect aligns with yourself. They somehow desisted despite their ASD driven gender fixation. You could also just read some of their cry for help/regret posts if you want to plain scare yourself away from the path of self destruction.
Good luck.
e: I would also tell you to stay off the internet for awhile, but I understand that’s unreasonable. So, at least, do yourself a favor and stay out of online trans communities.
