On a different subject, it may be that you were looking for some sort of a scale that can be applied to individuals to determine if they are trans and where they fall on the spectrum. None exist, though there are medical and psychological tests that can be done that will provide strong evidence to confirm your identity if you are willing to pursue them. The problem with using objective testing is that it creates the specter of a new kind of gatekeeper who decides who can receive gender affirming care and who cannot. Most professionals and members of the trans community these days are more willing to allow people to self identify, especially if they are older. This is an area that is still developing and to which there are no easy answers. On the one hand we do not want to prevent anyone who needs gender affirming care to get the help they need. On the other hand we want to avoid having people make mistakes because they are confused and not trans, but have other issues that are affecting their happiness. The nightmare most surgical providers have is the idea that they would do a surgery on someone who had severe regret because they later realized they were not really trans. It is irreversible. Fortunately, in the real world this is not an issue. The level of transition regret is less than 3%, and of those, people who do detransition do so primarily because of social and family pressure, not because they regretted their decision.
