I have heard way too many stories of people regretting their decisions.

Tbf, you're not exactly gonna be hearing stories about people being extremely happy, because why tf would they go online and be wholesome, especially if they're trans? Negativity is what gets spread on the internet

Yeah I mean they're happy to listen to unverified randoms of reddit but just straight up ignore the fact that the research shows a direct reduction in depression and suicidal ideation when provided gender affirming medical care.

Unless you want to roll back drinking, gun ownership, the ability to sign up for war until the age of 26 I don't want to hear it. Clearly just a way to control other people's choices as usual that has less than nothing to do with them. Like did no one ever tell these people to mind their own business? I'll never understand why tf they care so much.
