Laura and Brianna are on to something. There has to be a reasonable debate on how to provide safe guardrails during a transition process. My therapist often told me that I can hop off the transition train at any point and normalized the idea that each intervention available might not be what’s best for me. Slow and baby steps was the approach. I was 33. If I was 17, I know slow and baby steps wouldn’t be as easy for me. This is not easy for anyone but especially for younger populations, it can’t be easy for them to navigate.
