so many times i had to explain to people (and i am not out that long), that coming out as trans doesnt start a crisis. it end’s one. (as long as ppl leave you alone.)

I’m more worry that it won’t make me feel good about and at home in my body. It would mean to lose the last hope. Besides that, don’t you have to be for a considerable amount of time on HRT for it to be irreversible? I have no idea tbh

Occasionally I’ll see someone say something along the lines of: “I just wonder if they’ll feel the same about it in ten years. I think we’ll start seeing a lot of regret from all these young folks rushing into it.” Yet here I am, ten years plus transition, continuing to exist.

“Don’t get my hopes up!” Look I’m super disappointed and all that there’s not a safe way to alter my body to the degree that I want, whenever I want. Setting aside my ideal world though, in terms of options currently on the table, yeah it may not be as powerful or complete as I yearn for but good is not the the enemy of great. Other things are preventing us from improving, but our current HRT and gender affirming options are saving people’s lives - like mine.

It’s somewhat analogous to people telling women that they’ll regret not having kids, and asking them aren’t they worried that the decision may be irreversible when they do want kids. Nope. There are only a handful of things I’ve always been absolutely sure of, and not having kids is one of them.
