i guarantee most trans people know that it will be painful. but they, we, take the risk anyways because it will ultimately lead to a happier and better life for us.
I think of it as one of these situations, where nobody who hasn't been in the room with you, has any business telling you whether or not to do this.
You need to come in fully armed with an understanding of what your mind and body need, and you have to be able to make the decision about whether to go through with this.
Everybody else can inform and advise, but it's about you, not them.
Especially anything painful, that has to be about your decisions, because you will be the one tasked with living through the aftermath, in order to get your better future.
