    A lot of people I grew up with who thought they were trans simply grew out of it. Many of them were pressured into it, or were doing it because they thought they weren’t masculine/feminine enough to fit with societal norms. Or just wanted to be different. I was pressured into it as well when I was younger and made to identify as non binary because “cis men are bad” and I couldn’t be a cis man in that friend group or something. Could have went worse.

      So what your saying is that you have gone through years of therapists telling you not to transition every two weeks, and accidentally been given a medication that delayed the decision until you were more mature and which you could stop taking at any time with no serious side effects. Turely that was a fate so horrible that it’s worth taking the decision away from the thirty thousand English for which it was demonstrably the right decision.
