I wonder if this person just doesn't know their terminology (if their friends and psychologist are so unsupportive, there's a chance they simply haven't met anyone who knows much about trans issues).

I can relate to the OP about cross-dressing stories being annoying. I understand that wearing a dress as a disguise (which is often how cross-dressing-types of storylines go) is completely different than a trans individual dressing to express their identity, but some of the gags still hit too close to home for me.

For example, a common gag in these storylines is that an unaware person will hit on the cross-dressing person, and then that person will freak out when they discover the actual gender of who they've been stalking (or there's an undertone of "ohohohoho, wait til he/she discovers the REAL gender of that person--Cloud's cross-dressing plan to enter a brothel in FF7 is a good example of this). When I see a gag like that, it just reminds me of the actual harassment issues my mtf friends grapple with on a day-to-day basis, and it just isn't funny to me at all.

In general, cross-dressing plots are often treated as a huge joke (i.e., a humiliating necessity for a spy mission or the like, often there are gags like men recoiling when they discover a person ina dress actually has male genitalia, etc). I can definitely see how someone could be annoyed by these jokes, even if they aren't explicitly making fun of trans individuals. I hope that makes sense...
