I really wish for a day when exploring one's gender and sexuality isn't seen as aberrant or deviant or "sinful". People need to feel comfortable to find out what's right for them, who they are, without judgement. We see so much bullshit scaremongering about detransitioning as though it validates the fact that being trans isn't real, and that's not the case. Someone exploring, trying a change, and realizing that's not the right thing is fine! Of course what isn't fine is how many people detransition due to social pressure. If your entire family disowns you, you lose your job, etc., then that's really fucking hard to bear, and no one should have to go through that.
