I remember that frustration. It is not a fun feeling.
What would dropping everything look like?
In the meantime you could always start beard removal.
Dropping everything would mean dropping rugby and everything I do with it (coaching, refereeing, playing, community work, charity work, event planning, committee work) and would mean dropping martial arts and dropping my role as an instructor and black belt and potentially dropping other volunteer work. I'd have to drop a lot of things that would help me with jobs and university, and I am pushing for a place in a university like Oxford or Cambridge, so I need all the bonus I can get for that. I think I'd also have to change school.
I'd have to drop them because unfortunately I know there are people who would be set against me transitioning at the rugby club, and I'm not sure how parents would feel with me in a refereeing and coaching role; I would not be able to carry on martial arts due to the physical changes that would make participating hard if not impossible and again issues with parents; finally with school, although a lot of people would be supportive, I know for definite there would be some who would make my life hell- there's a lesbian couple and they have it hard enough, never someone who is trans, and I already crumble very fast from bullying and teasing, nevermind if I became more emotional through HRT.
