This smells like a future suicide after she realises all of the hormones in the world won't make her happy or change who she really is.

Sadly, that's exactly what happened to a woman I was friends with in graduate school. She transitioned during the program, but several years later, she told me that transition hadn't solved the problems she'd hoped it would solve. She eventually committed suicide. That's a big part of why I feel bad for these people. We may laugh at the absurdity of it, but it's a tragedy in progress.

Yes. I'm currently keeping a quiet eye on a twentysomething friend who realized she was a lesbian when she was a teenager. She's now FTM, it appears. We are not in close contact but I'm hoping she had some guidance and followed a supervised process. I suspect not, though.

Which is why I hope she changes her mind and embraces her womanhood before it’s too late.
