One piece of advice

[Nigella]

The most overwhelming advice that is given to those who are exploring their place is "If you don't need to transition, don't". That is a topic for another thread.

Keeping it simple and to the point, no reasons why, or justifying the advice, give ONE piece of advice/wisdom you want to pass on to those who are up and coming.

Mine is "There is no try before you buy"

Whats yours?

Be the ball.

No seriously, someone much smarter than I said that "trans people are like snowflakes, when you've seen one, you've seen one." Listen to what others have to say, take what is useful to heart and dump the garbage, but ultimately you have to figure out what works for YOU.

Set an achievable goal in life, when you get there, set another one.
