However, I don’t see the problem in at least trying to be helpful. Gently trying to open up this topic, seeing how they react. If they’re uncomfortable or not interested, you don’t push them ofc and you leave them alone. If they become angry, it’s probably a shitty cis guy.
I personally would have given anything for someone to have done this for me 5-6 years ago. I would give anything to have started earlier. And pardon me for being blunt, but if you don’t experience the crippling pain that is gender dysphoria, you may not completely understand that yourself.
If you plan to actually try to help someone who does this on halloween, please do it at a different time, in private, and be very careful about what you say, and how you approach this. There is a reason we have the saying that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I agree that not everyone needs to transition.
