Trans support groups can be somewhat helpful but they are essentially gathering places for the doomed in most events, or else help for people who don't really need it. It's always one or the other because each modality is anathema to the members who would make up the other group
Since being trans is not a culture/race it's typically something you weather alone. There's very little real trans solidarity, trans people are the most severe darwinian infighters out of any group I know of. There is of course cooperation, but not at the scale found elsewhere.
It's impossible to tell which friends will abandon you and for what reasons. Just for being trans, sometimes the most conservative people you know will stick around and the liberals will abandon. Then with compounding problems people eventually just declare you a deadbeat or w/e
A lot has been made out of suicidality. I first attempted suicide when I was 8 around when puberty first started, and again when I was 15. I don't consider suicide "a risk", because that externalizes responsibility. But it's always present as an "answer" to intractable problems.
One thing that tends to happen to many trans people is that they end up playing amateur therapist to other trans people, this despite the therapy requirement most countries have for transitioning. This is not really a "risk" in the same sense as the others, but worth noting.
Chasers: Many if not most sexual solicitations will come from fetishists. These men often have emotional and psychological problems and if you turn them down sometimes they'll get unreasonably angry, feeling that dejection from a trans woman is especially or atypically degrading
Shopping: Misgendering is ubiquitous, whether malicious or from ignorance. I've never been asked to leave but have been harassed/ignored. Fast food is always bad. In general, the problem is lower class people who feel resentful about having to serve/associate with a trans person
One big risk that's underreported: Hormone replacement therapy right now typically sucks. It follows standards of care defined something like 50 years ago, uses obsolete medications that are harmful to the body, and ignores relevant individual genetic and biological information
I haven't experienced this personally, but a lot of older trans people have problems establishing work history without outing themselves given that it is all under an old name. I just have the normal millennial problem of never hired into the relevant industry in the first place.
