Might not be. In the worst case (as in BDD), body mod doesn't help. In the best case, you actually have a different problem (gender roles too stifling, some genderqueerness that only requires some accommodation rather than full transition, a different problems with your body or with social roles, a different psychological problem) and solving that helps.
This is why most things recommend transitioning slowly and/or in steps. HRT before surgery, living as whatever gender before surgery, etc.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post, even in Discussion, it goes here.
