I feel for you but don't understand it. I know and believe in the Jung analysis of anima and animus because we all are genetically mixed and produce certain hormones. The degree of male female is determined by how much flow in utero - I think. This means that despite the machismo or hyper feminine antagonists, the variety in humans is quite real. The hang-up on sex is absurd but real. They can't accept it but too bad.
When it comes to biology, biochemistry and altering one's development, I'm on shaky ground. I can say that transhumanism and augmentation is a real possibility and one that is a good thing. In a separate vein, we have cochlear ears, deep vagus nerve stimulation, artificial hearts, pace makers, and even control of limbs by the brain via wireless for paralyzed people. We alter disruptive heartbeats through medicine, as you know Metformin's functions and psychotropics to help restore normalcy of function on a daily basis.
So now to your suffering. I don't have an answer accept that progress may be slow in coming. Current technology and pharmacology may be in its infancy and there is simply no way around the changes. But they will come. Feeling disgusted in your own body may be an inevitable part of transformation and if we were conscious in a cocoon transforming to a butterfly but had to undergo total change, we might feel...discomfort. Instead of the moth in stasis, your cognizant of the change.
I hope the bad symptoms go away and a gradual realization of a new you will be forthcoming. It sounds insensitive and trite but maybe such changes are inevitable for the body that already has a sense of equilibrium but is now being altered. The body is rebelling for now.
