I feel like greybeards were always people who care little for the standards/expectations of society.

They probably have a lot in common with trans people, who unfortunately are forced to overcome very aggressive and hostile societal standards.

But Greybeards have a lot of luxury relative to trans people. They’ve always gotten to do what they want because of competency as a bargaining chip. Trans people as a group generally don’t have that.

Anyway, I’m rabbit holing. We treat trans people awful and they do nothing to deserve that.

Edit: I don’t mean to say trans people aren’t competent, just that greybeards privilege exists because they’ve passed through a specific niche filter that the general population has not

Indeed.

A Transition Plan suggestion (?):

Become a Greybeard
Transition as you prefer
Use your competency to give trans rights to yourself and peers
Be happy and Profit!
