I can regret that I didn't have the possibility and understanding 40 or 50 years ago that I have now, but anyone who is content with their gender identity does not need to transition. If they are here and not a GG, then they probably fall somewhere under the TransGender umbrella, but they are not transsexual because they can be content with their gender identity.
Transition is not something you do because you want to become something you are not. It is something that you do because you need to survive or opt out of life.
I have yet to meet an MtF transsexual who transitioned because she wanted to become a woman. I have met plenty (including myself) who transition because we are already women and cannot continue to live the lie that we are something else. As far as I can tell the same thing is true for the FtM's in that they transition because they are men but their body does not reflect who they are.
Contentment does not equal denial. It does equal a lack of need to change that with which one is content.
