First of all, I encourage you to take advantage of the counseling and psychological services available to you on campus, if you have not already done so. They’re very familiar with psychological pain.
Second, I encourage you to go to a Less Wrong meetup when you get the chance. There’s a good chance you’ll find people there who are as smart as you and who care about some of the same things you care about. There are listings for meetups in Toronto, Albany, and New York City. I can personally attest that the NYC meetup is great and exists and has good people.
Finally, I wish I could point you to resources that are especially appropriate for trans people, but I don’t know what they are.
