From my high school, a few years post graduation, I know of at least 4 guys who have transitioned. One textbook AGP (who was actually pretty good at women's fashion design before he trooned), an autist who got groomed by egg subreddits, a gay boy who used to prostitute himself for alcohol, and another gay with homophobic parents
. I saw the AGP at a picnic a while back, and all he did was discuss bra sizing and how he got hit on by men on a train, so no sympathy there, but the rest of them? It just makes me really sad.
I was vaguely close to them, and I saw the problems they faced in their lives, and I just wish that they could have seen themselves the way I saw them. People who had made mistakes, people who had had struggles in their lives, but people who deserved to be loved for who they were. These people needed psychological help, in order to work through the problems that got them to this point. Someone to say, no, you're uncomfortable in social situations because you're autistic, not because people perceive you as male.
But, as my therapist often complains to me, in this state, trying to explore whether someone might not be trans is considered conversion therapy, so these people cannot get treatment that could literally save their lives!
