#easier and harder are subjective terms also especially in the context of transitioning young

I don't want to add to op's stress, so sending an ask.

I can see your frustration about the age of the example person's transition being complained about. How it frames the post.

What I'm wondering is if you also do understand what the frustration being complained about by op is.

Like it's definitely not peak optics, but sometimes venting and seeing others share your frustration can be cathartic. Especially when it's in the vein of "I'm frustrated and don't know if others understand this. Am I alone with this?"

And to state outright what I'm seeing as the core frustration from op. Not inherently the age of the example person transitioning, which is just an "easy" example. But the fact that the example person had an easy time with something other trans people often struggle with. A "your experiences aren't universal" thing. That they seem oblivious to said struggle and therefore insist it doesn't exist, despite being told that it does.

I hope my tone is clear, but if it isn't, I'm trying to understand your perspective, not being critical of it. I know I can be hard to read.

I know what OP meant. Bringing trans kids ages into the discussion, or the fact that That Trans Person With That Bad Opinion transitioned while young, is the thing I’ve been seeing time and time again brought up in discussions like this when it point blank shouldn’t be part of it. At all. It always seeks to paint particular types of trans people as hiveminds and I am too old for this, that is something high schoolers do in the cliques they’re in.
