transitioning gives you something exciting to do for about 5 years. after that, you're basically just whoever you remolded yourself to be. it won't save you from being you any more than lifting weights would. it makes other people not see you as a man anymore with the right genetics and presentation though. if only that makes it worthwhile to you, transition. dysphoria is irrational. but if you haven't cared for a long time it might be best to ride it out for a year or so and see how you feel at the end. humbly.
