Me, someone who is definitely not an egg: "Okay but what happens if YOU regret it? What happens if YOU aren't satisfied? What if YOU invest all this time and energy and expense undergoing a radical metamorphosis and YOU still aren't happy?!"
You, a person becoming their best self: "None of that is happening. I feel great."
Me, even more nervously: "Okay but what if YOU decided to change your mind later?!!! What then?!!!!!"

I seriously don't get why cissies are so fucking upset about this, not going on HRT also has irreversible side effects because you're also being exposed to hormones all the time. Not only that, but the dosages of endogenic hormones are completely uncontrolled, you never know how much testosterone these gonads are dumping into the body of a supposed "cis person" who may actually be an egg. Why do we allow that to happen? Nobody has ever confirmed these people are actually cis. About 1% of them will later turn out to be trans. That's about as much as people who detransition, but detransitioners include people who only get off hormones due to outside pressure, or because they planned to only go on HRT temporarily in the first place, or because of health complications. So the risk of cis people being wrong about their gender is actually significantly higher than that of trans people being wrong about their gender. I don't think i can just take their word that they are cis, that sounds irresponsible.
