Taking MDMA with my girlfriend was one of the key moments in realizing that I was trans. I've had a subsequent experience with MDMA that helped me realize my body is beautiful - even tho I'm trans. Of course, MDMA shouldn't be the only method of self actualization one uses in their process of psychological and spiritual growth. But, it's a damn good tool if you go about it the right way.
Furthermore:
MDMA has a long history of use in psychotherapy. See http://www.maps.org/secretchief/sctoc.html and look up the research of Greer and Grinspoon. MDMA was used by hundreds of psychotherapists prior to the proliferation of the drug in the club scene and its subsequent banning by the DEA.
There are testing kits that can ensure one only consumes relatively pure MDMA. http://www.dancesafe.org/product/coomplete-adulterant-screening-kit/
MDMA is often very effective as an aid to psychotherapy used formally or informally:

There is lots of modern research being conducted on the use of MDMA for the treatment of PTSD and a variety of other issues. It's well known among educated users and researchers in the field that MDMA can be quite beneficial for a variety of psychological problems - if used correctly:

MDMA absolutely can help people with psychological problems - including shame about being trans. It's reasonably safe assuming one has the connections to get it and is willing to use a testing kit. If one does a little research and takes precautions there is little reason to be fearful.
Advocating that people suffering psychological pain avoid MDMA is doing them a profound disservice.
