I see a lot of talk on here from people wanting to die due to trans issues, but as a non-trans person whose work is very near this issue, one of the saddest themes I see in people's suffering is wanting to die because they feel unable to achieve an extremely specific presentation of a gender—one that is often very in line with a (harmful) societal gender binary. Which, of course, comes with a host of problems I don't need to educate trans people on.

I won't say much more given my lack of direct lived experience, and instead will just share a couple of short reads to get you started thinking about why you may in fact have plenty of worth as a human regardless of your maybe being unable to attain a certain ideal. I have no connection to either source; they were just what came up on a quick search for what this experience is: "internalized transphobia".
Hopefully they will be the first stepping stones in accepting yourself for whoever you are.
