Julie,
I must admit you are a hard person to keep up with lol (e.g. 30-40 threads in three weeks), course, I have no room to talk either, lmao.
I think it's safe to say everyone handles their GID differently. Can you judge the severity of said GID by someone's actions?, I dunno, maybe. For instance, I bury my GID in research, and by that action my GID is crazy out of control, lol. In other words, keeping myself busy researching takes the focus off of my GID and puts that focus squarely on the shoulders of research. When I started here at BN I was rough around the edges (being new to social media, aka- socially challenged) and lol, we stepped on a few toes eh Julie?. 
Getting back to GID: other folks may deal with GID by cross-dressing, porn addiction, role-play, gender specific social media, meditation, the bowling alley, target range, fishing, eating disorder, harmful things, yoga........yada yada yada.
The bottom line is finding some relief to relieve the stresses of GID, not addressing GID clearly derails some nice progress already made. Stress increases T via Cortisol/SHBG, and that's going in the wrong direction. If someone gets to you, nip it in the bud, no pun intended, or move past it, (Distress equals success.......always be moving forward)
Good luck.
