I am sorry for everyone here. I am a lesbian and there is no space for me anymore, even on dating apps. Speaking to your group transitioning--that is unit cohesion. That is seen in military as well. I read an article by a psychiatrist today talking about the number of people detransitioning right now who had to go home and leave college during the pandemic.This is not due to access to hormones or meds, or parents--the people stated they sat with their feelings and realized the pressures were coming from the outside world, and after reflecting internally, transitioning was an escape measure from other issues going on.

Ugh!

Hang in there. You still have a home.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised if the number of people starting to transition has ALSO gone up during the pandemic as people are stuck inside ruminating and seeking validation from the internet all day.
