    It can affect everyone differently but not coming out and getting things done can lead to terrible mental health and depression, leading to suicide. Transitionning is the only way we know to supress those symptoms.

      There were many ways of being queer and trans which have been erased over time. Simply consider the native American stuff and also Indian motions of hijra.
