Given that I rediscovered this the hard way the other day...
It's fine to question and come to a different conclusion from your original one. It's fine to delay or limit transition. For some trans people, it's fine to decide not to transition.
It's even fine to conclude you're cis!
What is NOT fine is trying to reject being trans because it feels safer and more numbing in a comforting way.
That's mental self-harm. It's a big deal, and it can't and won't be good for you. Don't do that (she said, after having done that just the day before). It's not worth it.
