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.
the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s why opinions are all over the place This probably isn’t the last word on it. At least from my perspective.
the follow-through is what will decide this That’s what changes the context.
Not gonna lie, this feels rushed rather than thought through which explains why reactions are split This could age very differently in a week.
From a practical angle, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so which is why this is getting picked apart This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s the impression it gives me.
Stepping back, the way this is presented changes how it lands That’s the key detail here. Time will tell.
