Trans people who are minors and have parents who prevent them from medically transitioning are valid
Trans people who are waiting to medically transition for any reason are valid
Trans people who aren’t comfortable with the end results of surgery and have aesthetic concerns or concerns about complications are valid
Trans people who have fluid genders and/or have fluctuating dysphoria and don’t want to make permanent changes they might not want later are valid
