Caveats

It is easier to be constrained than unconstrained as a gender variant person unless you know exactly how you would live if you were free of all obstacles. Constraints may seem like road blocks but they also serve as guidelines which keep us safe. Thus I have had to do much more introspection once I was entirely liberated than when I was not.

It can be akin to removing your training wheels on your bicycle and then running the risk of going much too fast. Gender dysphoric people who have been locked up for a long time run more risk of exploding out of the gate than those whose need for expression is much less locked into identity.

Some of you may have already been where I am or would like to be which is indeed in a good place but there are always going to be caveat emptors.
