I'm starting to think I need to weigh the pros and cons of killing myself
It's like this:
I want to transition from gender to another. I've *been* wanting to do this for months, and I have a consultation set up so I can get my desired hormones sooner rather than later. I think that my family will accept me, and I currently live someplace where I can get the support I need.
But with things as they are in the world...bad things could happen to me. *Soon*. Just for even *thinking* about doing this, let alone trying to pass.
Understand that I don't feel violently dysphoric in my body. Rather, the inverse is simply *euphoric*. But do you know what I was doing before I started thinking about transitioning? Smoking weed and drinking as often as I could without getting violently ill (and I failed at that a few times). Note that the drinking and smoking had nothing to do with wanting to transition (or at least I don't think it did). Rather, my life had stalled. *Has* stalled, honestly. It's not as though nothing good happens to me...but it's going nowhere. I've run low on ambitions. I'm not interested in much. Even after starting antidepressants, at best I still felt *closed off* from having any passion for anything.
Switching genders, though? *That* excites me.
Stepping back, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s the part people are stuck on Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s just my read on it.
From where I sit, the way this is presented changes how it lands and that’s where it gets complicated
At this point, this comes across more reactive than planned and that friction is hard to ignore That’s what changes the context. Feels like there’s more coming here.
To be fair, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s where the disagreement starts
At first glance, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so This could age very differently in a week. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Real talk, the signal is clear, the strategy less so so the response doesn’t surprise me This could age very differently in a week. At least from my perspective.
Putting bias aside, this solves one problem while creating another and that tension shows up immediately
this depends heavily on what happens next which explains why reactions are split Hard to say where this lands long term. At least from my perspective.
Bluntly speaking, this feels like a half-step, not a full move which turns this into more of a debate
the main issue seems to be how this is handled which turns this into more of a debate This probably isn’t the last word on it.
the follow-through is what will decide this and that friction is hard to ignore That’s what changes the context.
To be fair, the follow-through is what will decide this which is why the comments look the way they do That’s just how it reads to me.
If you zoom out, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven That’s what makes this interesting. Curious how this plays out. That’s just my read on it.
Just reading this, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s what people are responding to We’ll see how people react over time.
this solves one problem while creating another which is why this is getting picked apart

I get the idea, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome This could age very differently in a week. That’s just my read on it.
Stepping back, this feels more about execution than intent and that’s what people are responding to Feels like an opening move, not an ending.

Real talk, this reads stronger on paper than in practice and that’s where it gets complicated That’s what changes the context. Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage This could age very differently in a week. That’s the impression it gives me.
