I rudely walked out of playing games with people today because I couldn't handle them referring to me by my birth name (there are exactly three people in this town who do that, due to meeting them before I decided to go to school here) and making jokes about me not having a dick.  I am in a weird place right now where I'm wallowing in isolation,

That sounds appropriate, not rude.

I don't want to project too much, but for me, feeling better about my body seemed to bring into focus everything else that I had been putting up with that really was not good. I'd just been too wrapped up in dealing with my body to notice.

Thanks. I still feel like I owe them an explanation of what they did wrong, since they're the only people who could legitimately claim to not know any better. By not telling them, aren't I refusing them any opportunity to make things right? Or am I totally nuts for justifying their behavior at all?

I think you're right about it being possible to not notice other (social) problems until the more pressing (body) problems have abated, but I'm still concerned that the instability could be hormonal in nature. I haven't a clue how to determine the actual cause.
