@Sqrl. Your post would only make sense if their was some method of removing the persons 'delusion'.
As no such method exists to 'rehabillitate' them, the only plausible chance of happiness they have is to as you put it 'reaffirm the delusion'.
If transgender disorder was in any way a temporary phase I would totally agree with you, the person should not have a sex change as they will agree with their physical body eventually. However as transgender disorder is extremely permanent there is no point not allowing them to live in the way they would prefer. You say that indulging their 'delusion' will cause them harm. How exactly?
