Respecting your pain, but as someone who cares, I think you're making a mistake, now. People didn't know the truth, they were transphobes. If you even know the truth now you were one of a tiny percentage of people whose dysphoria was misdiagnosed or resisted treatment.

The 2 are separable. It can be hard seeing an early transition person as another gender immediately. My brain once struggled w it, and still does although its much better. The categories male & female are quiet rigid and a lifetime of using them leaves a mark.

But, I don't think it's rational for a friend or family member to substitute their judgement for a doctors' in most cases? Or to be skeptical of an evidence based treatment? Not sure why this needs an exception just bc prejudice and misinfo is widespread.
