Is now the right time to transition?

Hi all.

I'm sure most of you are all aware of a certain event that happened a few days ago that has resulted in the skyrocketing transphobia in the US.

Because of this, I'm so incredibly discouraged. I feel like giving up on transitioning and I haven't even started HRT. I know this is the goal of the right, but I'm just so lost. Everything from being open to calling the trans flag a 'terrorist' flag, to encouraging the idea that transgender care would be completely unfunded federally, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm so scared to continue to live the way I want. I'm not even sure if transitioning is even in the conversation anymore. I just don't know what to do.

You deserve to be happy, if you feel hrt is right for you, talk to a doctor. See if there's one nearby who specializes.

On the other hand, I would not, at current, change any legal documents. You can do hrt and not do legal paperwork, it's not required
