Apparently the long-neglected basic education of ESLtards makes the explicit expression of such banality necessary, so here we are.
The most important point to always keep in mind is that transsexuality is the direct equivalent of dressing up like a clown.
The above fundamental truth can not be escaped, nor should be elided, as it informs the entirety of the discussion and is inseparable from it. So :

Hopefully this clarifies the matter in a theoretical perspective, so violence will cease being necessary.

I think some intellectual honesty is due when it comes to suggesting ones identity is a choice. How do i stop thinking I'm female without lying to myself? Obviously female in the brain but this seems to apply more to ladyboys than transsexuals. At least clowns can take off their masks.

I am not suggesting "ones identity is a choice". Footnote V plainly states that your identity is not within your purview. This means that it is not your choice, nor your valid concern, nor something you can do ANYTHING about.
Note also that you are lying (presumably, to yourself) in the most outrageous manner. The notion that you may be "trans" IS in fact suggesting that identity is a choice, and that you're the one called to choose. This is not the case, and the fact that you misrepresent it as the opposing view would indicate that you know.

It was in response mainly to the footnote which I clearly misunderstood to mean the opposite of what it meant.
So clowns don't have a choice either? I have been running from this most of my life. I considered killing myself when I was four years old because who wants to be a freak of nature and how do you explain this but the window didn't seem to be high enough. I tried to be fem guy too for a while but that too was lying to myself. Who the fuck wants to be a tranny. Mentally ill people in college who want special recognition perhaps. They don't apply and aren't the type of people that can handle criticism or reason.
Now i consider myself god-gender because who wants to be limited to social constructs. [joke]

Clowns don't have a choice in the same way : they don't have a choice in what their identity is. They can dress up as clows. So can you. They can't be clowns. Nobody can.
The preoccupation with "identity" in this sense is unhealthy, just like all meta-preoccupations are unhealthy. With examples :
People generally go to casinos to have fun ; a few hapless few observe that the supposed venue through which people have have fun at casinos is "winning". Perhaps driven by the observation that they themselves aren't having any fun, perhaps driven by serious inferiority complexes, perhaps for others of the (few) available causes (there's nothing in nature more limited than human biology) they then proceed to "hack" having fun through the avenue of "winning" in peculiar ways. These people are known as "problem" gamblers, compulsive gamblers, there's other names.
All kids go to school to learn. Some kids go to school to appear to be learning. They never amount to much, even if sometimes run a meteoric Steven Glass trajectory. All kids fuck for fun, and most kids are preoccupied with controlling what the other kids think about all the fuckfun they're having. Some hapless few end up fixating on this, to their detriment.
On it goes, but the point remains - stop thinking about it, altogether. You aren't anything, and nobody particularly cares what you are. "Wanting" to "be" a particular thing is playing the game of life wrongly.

Agreed. Who ever would want to limit their identity to gender must not be that interesting. The type of person who can't tell the difference between the concepts and the actual objects. Thank you for the casino example.
One more thing. What do you mean by "Just about everyone knows why you go around claiming to be a girl." Why would anyone want to be a girl? I could only assume it applies to closet homosexuals.

The suggestion there was that alone forever internet types would rather pretend to be a girl than talk to one.
