Touche... but I think it's a little close-minded to assume that anyone and everyone in such a situation will be unable to cope, some may come to terms with it themselves...

Being a MtF I'd have to agree with leviadragon99. If I was given a choice as to which gender I could be I probably could have adapted to being a boy. But being stuck and confused for a couple of decades and told what I was supposed to do because of what I looked like is what caused all of the angst. I was too young to know what was happening and why I was feeling the way I was. But TG changes in comics and stories typically happen to adults who know what's happening to them and can better cope with extreme changes.

Closest I can come to to that is the fact I had testicular-torsion at 12 or 13. Part of me will always wonder if they had died off.

I don't remember if you said but are you trans? It seems to me that a good portion of guys who do MtF TG stories and comics are at least partially trans.

TV but not passable (bad hair, overweight, worse teeth.) but I can dream and live vicariously through my creations.

It is interesting to contemplate just what the rammifications could/would be in any event...

Hm. I'm MtF too (still mostly pre-transition. stupid minor laws in Australia...) but I honestly don't think I could adapt. As time goes on for me, the pain gets worse and worse, so... yeah. The stuff that happens to adults might be a problem simply because they have more force of habit - though either way, I doubt that'd have that much impact on how their mind actually turned out.

Who knows... I'm something even weirder, a blank slate.

I don't really identify with either gender state or any sexuality, and I'm fairly atypical when it coems to traits associated with both...

That's not weird. Uncommon, yeah, but not weird.

It does kinda suck, I'll tell you that much. On the other hand it allows me to step outside of some of the common flaws that tend to plague both genders and be something of an impartial observer, the Switzerland in the battle of the sexes as it were...
