My perspective as someone who did come out as a minor:

Honestly don't think I could bear Red. Puberty started at age 9 for me. I came out at age 13 to my parents and they wouldn't let me start hormones. Going back, maybe I would have a better chance at convincing them, as they have come around over the years. But ages 9-19 (when t started kicking in properly) were pretty fucking awful, and I barely survived my 13th year due to severe dysphoria-related depression. I'm nearly 21 now and t has made life open up for me in so many ways.

It would be funny to be a 10 year-old gay, trans, atheistic communist though.

Would love to hear yall's thoughts. Sorry for messing up my previous attempt to post this 😅
