Three good reasons

There are three good reasons to take transgender actions, which can be anything from wearing a different hat to changing your name to bottom surgery.

The first reason is if you have a very specific goal that’s not related to any trans feelings, like you’re hiding from assassins, or acting in a Shakespeare play, and you have a good reason to believe that they will accomplish that goal.

The second reason is if you know it’s a matter of life and death, or of quality of life. If you genuinely fear that you would be killed or kill yourself if you didn’t take these actions. If you believe that you would be miserable and resentful if you didn’t take these actions.

The third reason is if they bring you pleasure.
