No, I disagree.  I don't think you would.  You are just making excuses.  You see, everyone can come up with reasons or excuses as to why they're not transitioning.  Everyone has a lot to lose, regardless of their stage in life.  A 20 year-old may not have a marriage and kids, but they likely have parents.  And transitioning would risk losing parental support and probably financial support as a result.  In some ways it's even more scary because they don't have a history of job experience or maybe even an education yet to fall back on to support themselves.  Maybe transitioning would mean they would never even be able to have kids, ever!

It's not easy to transition, regardless of where you are in life.  Your situation is not harder than others.  You shouldn't use other people as an excuse.  You shouldn't blame your lot in life.  This is all on you.  You need to take responsibility for transitioning (or not transitioning) and own it as your personal decision.

An interesting viewpoint. However there are consequences for people you love. Maybe you've already let thrm down by this point by being confused or a coward and 'selling' them a lie
