Don’t forget the time cost. In high school, I really resented having to get up ~30 minutes early at minimum to put on the shit. Then you have to wash it all of your face before you go to sleep.

Then there’s shaving. I just didn’t own shorts until after I transitioned, because I hated that shit but having any kind of leg hair will get commented on negatively.

Now I can roll out of bed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and maybe trim up my beard and look okay enough to not get shit on.
