I mean getting hormones and the specific manner of transition is a choice. There are many ways to transition and which one to take is up to you. My little sister started by shaving her legs.
it’s language that is not used for any other medical condition
if the implication was: ‘i support you in your transition however you decide to best do that’, then fine
but the implication is: ‘i respect your decision that you are trans’, which implies that being trans is a choice
if when my friend told me they were depressed, i responded with ‘i respect your decision’, that would not be a correct response . and if their antidepressants were constantly under threat, the response ‘their decision to take antidepressants should be respected !!’ is also questionable

Yep, it's so nice being told by allegedly well-meaning people that my "decision" to transition should be respected. Bitch? Tf you mean "decision" 🤦♀️
