I know many people that thought about it for a long time, had a transition and were very happy about it.
I also know 2-3 people that had a sudden feeling they wanted this (obviously were NOT approved for surgery, it doesn't work that way!) but they cut their hair and bound their chest and wore prostethics.
After 2 years, those 3 had changed back.
It is important to realise that, if you feel like a man and you're born in a woman's body, a transition might be a very good idea.
And when you recently went through trauma, divorce, grief, and you suddenly want to be a man, you are confusing 'being a man' with societies idea of strength and manliness.
Anyway, as far as I know, therapy and intense psychological interviews are done before surgeries and cutting anything off is not a 'spur of the moment' decision.
Just like with regular cosmetic surgery, you need to make sure you are in balance mentally and have thought about it properly.
Sorry for the person in the video, hope they heal.
