    If everyone was supportive, I think it would be fine. It’d be seen like needing glasses. We just need this relatively easy medical care and it’s far less effort if intervention is done before puberty.

    Transitioning socially would be less of an issue too since it’d be seen as just something that happens sometimes and has been normalized.

      Counterpoint: I need glasses and it kinda sucks. If I could just choose to be born with perfect eyesight, I would. And bad eyesight is generally much easier to diagnose and the treatment (either a prosthesis, i.e. glasses/contact lenses, or just getting lasik) is much faster than gender transitioning.
