Hey this is for all you cis folks out there. Shits really bleak right now for trans people, and not just because of this whole reddit crap. Republicans are gearing up to pass some really heinous laws that do things like coercively de-transition trans kids, make being a trans teachers illegal, making it so that you cant legally change government docs documents, the list goes on and on. Things are really really really exhausting, and as much as many of us are big fighters, others of us are barely getting by both materially and emotionally. Like I am pretty materially comfortable and 2 years into my transition and even I am pretty worn out by the world, it is like 1000% worse for baby trans and trans people who aren't as lucky as me.
So I am asking you, if you yourselves have the mental and physical means, stand up for us in any way you can. Even if you cant do anything in the real world, if its just calling out shit and bullying transphobes online, every little bit helps make things easier. We need you comrades.
Absolutely, I'm not trying to dismiss the additional issues adult trans people have.
I'm just saying, it's ok to wait no matter the reason, and also you're never too old if it's what you need to do. You're not less Trans or less accepted by the LGBT community.
There are plenty of trans people who've not realised until their 40s and 50s and later. I've never seen anyone regret transitioning regardless of age.
