The "family decision" part is bullshit. And while they shouldn't be given time to mourn before the HRT, the reality is that they may mourn the future they expected, and that's not necessarily a bad thing and something we should allow.

Mourning is a natural process, and it can be an important part of acceptance. It's better for a loved one to mourn their expectations and then move forward than it is for them to live in denial, which is too often the case.

I don't know how many friends and loved ones are still misgendered by their family out of denial because they've refused to accept what they didn't expect.
