Feeling torn and confused about transitioning:

[muuu]

So... continue being miserably happy, even though you know deep in your heart you'll be happy without the misery with the pain on the others side of the situation. Sounds reasonable.

IDK, OP. Would you like to be miserable with a girl, or happy without one?

Well, I'd like to chime in. You don't have to be at the edge to have reason to transition. I've been through A LOT of crap in my life, and I mean third-world problems. I have thickened my skin, and I have found that I can just continue to tolerate my current existence. Basically, I can just tough it out, so to speak. However, simply tolerating my existence isn't good enough. The fact that I can live without transition doesn't make my gender issues any less valid.

I for one don't want to live a life filled with forced smiles. 

Oops, I meant...

Me too!
