I am really glad I never encountered this type of bs when I first started without first being innoculated by other trans people who were starting older than me…
I started questioning at like 20 or 21, and fully realized a year later, and then I got on hrt at 23… I went from not having any ability to imagine a future in which I would be happy to actively living happily with the start of some actual goals in life in 2 years, and now ,about 18 months into being on hrt, I am being told I am beautiful often enough that I’m almost starting to believe it…
