That's fine, it's just a different way to think of the same concept. To me, the distinction between fundamental ideal gender (internal) and perceived gender identity (external) seems arbitrary as the identity is what matters primarily to others, and entirely internal ideals have little external effect. Sorry if my previous posts were unclear in that regard.
Puberty blockers and education of their effects and side-effects should be readily available to all of suitable age, and less restricted prescriptions for others to minimise bureaucracy and potential suffering (I believe this could be applied to a lot of other modern medicine as well). It ought to be up to the individual to weigh the benefits and disadvantages against each other and make the final call.
While the provided scenario does spark in me a hint of suspicion, you should have been given such an opportunity.
For the last point, if I'm reading it correctly, that's a relatively common scenario given that most transgender people don't go through with gender-affirming or 'sex-change' surgery, so it would be possible. Some do experience dysphoria in this aspect, or express a wish to have been born into the opposite sex but not wish to trade their current body. It's different for everyone.
