I've seen firsthand how shitty things can be for trans people. I'm sorry. I hope you can find a support system that meets your needs.

> i thought i had aspergers but it turned out I was actually transgendered.

Is it possible that you're trans and Asperger's? There's research suggesting that they appear together more often than chance would suggest. It would explain the surprising frequency of trans people in tech fields, as well. Anecdotally, three of the four trans people I'm close to are diagnosed ASD, and I have my suspicions about the fourth.

my point was lot of people who think they have aspergers actually dont

My point is that you don't have any standing to claim that, and you're probably wrong.

Given how many hoops the medical establishment makes trans people jump through to "prove" that they're really trans and need treatment, I'd think you'd be more sympathetic.

There's not a lot of hoops to jump through as an adult in Canada.

You can simply find a therapist and ask for an informed consent form. Sign it and you get access to Hormone replacement therapy.

The gender marker change is even easier, all you need is to fill a form that you can order at anytime for $140. On that form you write your new name and correct gender. Then, you only need someone else to sign under oath with you.
