i actually kind of hate the narrative that transitioning will change your emotional disposition somehow. i think if someone is really depressed before they transition they'll still be depressed after transitioning
Feb 4, 2026 07:15I'm cis but speaking from the pov of a person who deals/dealt with depression, I feel like it's very rarely a thing that happens just because of one reason so even if you make changes to one particular area of your life that is making you miserable this doesn't necessarily mean "depression cured"
Like I assume that being read as and having to perform a different gender than your own is really psychologically taxing and transitioning would alleviate this but like depression is rarely a matter of just making one change to your life that fixed everything
