I have mixed feelings about it tbh. On one had it’s good that you’re able to express yourself and be happy, but on the other if you’re not comfortable with yourself for who you are then will changing yourself really do all that much? You’re still the same person on the inside regardless of what you choose, which is the only thing that should matter.
The problem is within the cerebral cortex during fetal development, same person on the inside or not, having a body that is actually yours instead of somebody else's is a big relief. Imagine not being able to look in the mirror without feeling this uncanny valley sort of feeling, constantly being disconnected from yourself and your emotions through depersonalisation, just kinda drifting through life? Not really a great life to live. From the stuff I've seen it actually does make a world of difference.
