The most distressing idea in the world to me, in that period, was the idea of wearing or being given men's "style" clothing for a female body. It felt like the prison I'd escaped from had caught up with me, the idea of wearing men's clothes that fit my body more snugly.

I didn't transition to escape mental illness, I escaped mental illness and found, to my own surprise, that I still wasn't okay with being a woman.

This sounds a lot like my own experience. I wasn’t able to fully process what was going through on until I felt more safe and stable in my life.

Exactly. In many ways I wish I'd transitioned much earlier, but the transition itself would have been hell while my life was so chaotic.
