Yes, it's hard to read that grief and despair.
I wish someone would advise her about volunteerism. She would benefit from helping individuals whose situations are more difficult to live with than hers.
Not belittling here. Emotions are never wrong. But she needs relief.

As you read down the thread, there are many tweets justifying it, saying that the people who regret it are in the minority and that's no reason to condemn
mutilationtransitioning.As someone who has raised 4 women into adulthood, I can, with some authority, say that the "maturity switch" isn't turned on at 21, let alone 18.

@George-K Nodding. My biggest worry about all this 'transitioning' is that the transitioner does something irreversible if it's done at too early an age. If they reach the face-palming stage and ask what was I thinking, they need to be able to reverse.
Mid to older teens and early 20s are still very much in the experimental stage.

I'm not sure about volunteering. I know some states have made conversion therapy illegal. Are there now laws in some states that forbid people from interfering in decisions such as hers?

something irreversible
When we were young, with two young kids, we attended a talk by a pediatrician. I don't recall the subject of the talk, or the speaker. However, one thing he said stuck with me.
"Pick your fights. Blue hair, who cares? Shaved head, who cares? Don't make an issue over something that is reversible. Piercings, tattoos, that's a whole 'nother thing."

I should have been clearer. I wasn't thinking that she should volunteer among people with her issues, but rather unrelated things like soup kitchens, literacy . . . whatever floats her boat.
I think volunteering among those in her boat is probably not the best course.
And WTF is this about conversion therapy being illegal? What fricking business does the state have to do such a thing???
