All or nothing

I don't like the "all or nothing" mentality because it can cause some people needless excess suffering. Some will say to themselves "I must completely transition or do nothing" which is not exactly going to reduce their dysphoria. Granted, there are people who will no doubt benefit from a full medical transition but, if for some reason they cannot, bearing the full brunt of dysphoria by doing nothing is not much of a solution.

Today there have never been more options and I have seen all variations adopted. The point is to help the person reduce anxiety and depression which I feel is best undertaken in measured steps. Even gender clinics now adopt this approach.

Given that gender variance is much more widely accepted should help us here because people no longer expect to see only a rigid binary. There are so many people who push the boundaries of expression, that this should help transgender people to adopt more unique formulas which respect where they are in life. Their constraints can be respected while still alleviating their dysphoria even if imperfectly.

Most gender variant people do not end up on the transsexual end of the spectrum but even if they do, consider that transsexuals could do nothing about their situation for the vast majority of human existence.

I consider doing something to be far superior to doing nothing any day of the week.
