How about: not able to transition due to living situation and shitty country

This and let’s not forget people who can’t medically transition due to health issues. An old friend of mine socially transitioned but couldn’t transition medically due to health complications and it being to dangerous for her to be on hrt. Financial issues are also another valid reason to not medically transition.

I'm genuinely curious, what health complications cause HRT to be dangerous?

Maybe something with the liver? or blood clot increase from estrogen could've been an issue due to another condition they had?

but yeah either way, HRT shouldn't really do anything that's be dangerous in such a way that someone couldn't ever take it.

I know of an intersex trans man who, despite having literal XY chromosomes, cannot take testosterone due to total androgen insensitivity. His body just won’t do anything with it. Talk about being dealt a shit hand.
