While I wouldn't go as far as discrediting GOA/PSY-trance I would definitely say it isn't [the only] "real" trance. In fact, it's quite different than what most people traditionally consider trance.
The tracks tend to be brimming full of energy, pumping from beginning to end, with a notably higher BPM than most trance. Also, goa tends to be littered with sounds, as where trance tends to isolate the melody (call it minimal if you will). This is the big difference, i find listening to goa to simply be too much aural input at times. Sure it's good groove music but it's often hard to make sense of it, I find a lot of goa gives me the same "vibe".
This is not to say it isn't trance, but it's definetely got a different methodology behind it. To say psy is [the only] "real trance" seems to be a dubious claim at best or suggests you have a rather dilettante understanding of trance.
I'm sure some goa addict will come here and jack my uneducated ass up for being entirely uncorrect but .. at least i tried =)
