I've got no strong opinions, but some trans people I'm friends with have struggled with feelings that no matter what they do, they will never be able to be happy with their bodies and how others see them. For some trans women I know, they tell me that femininity can feel like the plot of 1/x, getting closer and closer to the destination but never reaching it. One told me she wouldn't wish being trans on her worst enemy. I'm not sure, but I think the DSM-5 classifies gender dysphoria as a disorder, one that's best treated by proving the resources for transition and social acceptance (if desired by the patient). But if the feeling were caused by some kind of chemical contaminant, and removing the contaminant caused feelings of gender dysphoria to go away, I think many people who would otherwise transition would prefer that route. So in that sense, if there really is a contaminant, it and our current lack of knowledge of it would be a disaster.
