@listelian The doctors from trans clinics in that reddit AMA did a lot to put me at ease on that. Since yeah, I'm not just playing with my gender in relatively minor ways, but have serious feelings about what sex my body should resemble.

I think the big thing that screwed with me was that I saw transition as an incredible thing I kind of wanted, but in the same way you might feel about owning a private jet. It's just outside the experience I have, and related to me through superficial media. Seeing actual trans people didn't make me want to be trans. In hindsight, it made me realize I could be trans and still safely lead the rest of the life I want.
