  • It’s ok; this image is seriously a cognitohazard for eggs. It’s so brutally efficient at cutting through the internal excuses for not transitioning that it leaves you only with the practical considerations. Not having the social support or money to transition are reasonable concerns. Transitioning isn’t easy, especially if you have to deal with bigotry and medical gatekeepers.

    However, transitioning will do more for your mental health than almost anything. It’s not like age will stop you from enjoying the time you have left as the person you want to be. Fascism and transphobia have made my life so depressing recently, but I still don’t regret transitioning in the slightest. Even if I get killed for being trans, it was far better enjoying the few years I had than going the rest of my life as the empty husk I once was.
