As a trans woman, I don't see HRT being pushed as the only way to be trans. I think the vast majority of us recognize that there are many different paths people take. I have a friend who can't take HRT because of blood clotting issues they have, and they are still 100% valid. Even if someone's health doesn't prevent them from taking HRT and they just don't want it, they are still valid as well. The people saying that HRT is necessary to be trans are known as transmedicalists and they are cringe.

Edit: This got double posted somehow, so I deleted the first one.

Thank you. I wish that the world had more people with compassion like you.

Moving my reply to the non-deleted duplicate :)
