I can echo this. I’ve told my friends and even mentioned in support groups that if there was a pill I could take to make me “feel like a boy” and not have to transition to deal with my dypshoria, I’d take that pill every day with my blood pressure meds. That pill (and any treatment that claims to have that effect) doesn’t exist, so transitioning is my only option. I wish every day that I wasn’t trans, but at the same time I also am thankful that I get to actually try to fix this dysphoria with something other than a 9mm to the brain.
EDIT: To clarify also, the time for such a pill is long gone for me. I am a woman, even if they find a “cure” for dysphoria that isn’t transitioning and gender-affirming care.
Yeah it’s “too late” for me too, I’m locked in, and if there was a pill that did that I’d have some serious ethical concerns regardless. What I mean is more if I could have decided before being born.
