if she wants to, but doesn't feel safe to, then her decision not to start yet is still valid. there's also no rush, early twenties is so young & she has decades & decades of her life ahead of her, where her circumstances could change dramatically & she might then feel completely safe to start hormones.
safety is often a factor when trans people choose not to medically transition, or to detransition.
it sucks & of course ideally, we'd all live in a place where these decisions can be freely made without having to consider safety, but ultimately it's each trans person's decision to make for themselves, because no one can guarantee safety.
Yeah of course. I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to make that process easier I guess. I'm just trying to be a good friend.
