Unfriendly reminder that as someone who had to wait until I was an adult to transition, I have no childhood. The nostalgia for high school you all take for granted doesn't exist for people who didn't get to be themselves. Transitioning in childhood is a blessing, not a curse.

The fear you have about a cis person accidentally transing themselves and what it'd feel like? That's exactly how trans kids who can't transition feel.

I realize this is a grim revelation and I’m tempted to follow it up with some more optimistic facts about my life, but I think just this once I’m not going to. I want folks to really sit with the tragic consequences of denying trans youth gender affirming care. And realize ALL trans kids deserve access to it.
