>>40169858the real desist rate (people who stop HRT because they no longer want it, not people who get forced off of it because life) is 0.06%. I waited for years in between knowing what I wanted and actually working towards it, and I am depressed over how much of my life I wasted being miserable.
For trans people, there is no alternative. Cis people love to say things like "wait and figure it out" but no one who waited by their own choices doesn't wish they started sooner. If we could really cure dysphoria without hormones then no one would subject themselves to being the center of all these political screechings.
Save yourself. Don't be like me. I burned my future because I was too dissociated to even realize how miserable I was. It's hard to focus on building a career or getting good grades when you want something else so bad.
