It is rather fortunate and unfortunate during this time period. The topic of discussion has become widely accepted by some, condemned by others, and it has evolved into a political war between numerous ideologies. The support exists, so a transition is most certainly an opportunity for many, but it is also dependent upon the individual's age, immediate financial circumstances, and a number of other unnamed variables. Gender dysphoria is already enough of a curse on its own, but when accounting for the stigma and political attention that it receives, it is no wonder that so many transgender individuals end up attempting or considering suicide at some point in their lives.

I probably could have received better circumstances myself, seeing that my parents are somewhat of religious extremists, and they are both likewise very conservative. But at the same time, it could have very well been worse. At the point in my life in which I am able to make that revelation myself, I cannot be certain as to how my parents shall react. For that reason, I have decided that my best course of action shall be to prolong this dilemma until I preferably graduate and have my own method of financial support. However, the stress itself is crippling, and it merely elongates the period of time in which I am forced to attend my university in the first place. It is basically a circular gridlock.
