Some Thoughts About Those Who Think They Have the Right to Control What the DSM-V Will Say About Transsexuals

What bothers me is that CAMH claims that at least 80% of the people who come to them "do not go through with transition". This seems very strange to me, because I've heard that transitioned trans people have the highest satisfaction rate of any 'mental disorder' – about 85%. Why are these numbers practically the reverse of each other?
