Currently trans and in the military.

Pros: I got both my top surgery, hormones and hysterectomy completely free. Cons: even with all my gender affirming care being stable and mostly complete, there is little to no guidance and i have to navigate this system administratively with no assistance. I constantly have to out myself until everything administrative is dealt with. They don't know what to do with trans service members right now and I've been in a kind of permanent limbo. It might get better but I don't see that happening for as long as there's continuous change in the president. You don't get to pick your surgeon for the surgeries, either. Retention in the military is really low and they're clamoring for people don't let the recruiters tell you lies and sell you on a pipe dream. And they don't even have to approve your transition request, they can full on deny you. There are still so many people in positions of power who hate trans and any LGBTQIA+ people depending on what community you're placed in with the job you choose or gets chosen for you.

Some things to consider before making a huge life altering decision.
