I'm just going to lay out some personal experiences here so that you can have another point of view to consider. I don't want to or mean to offend anyone with this, but if I do, I'm sorry.
I am biologically male but struggled with very strong dysphoria and questions about my gender until recently. After years of research and introspection and philosophy on the subject, I decided not to transition. At all.
My decision basically boiled down to this. Transitioning meant that I would inevitably lose any and all relationships with my family (coming from any extremely religious background), I would put myself in extreme financial stress (on average transition cost around $50,000, most of it not covered by insurance) especially as i don't have health insurance, and it would have put my life on hold for around 5 years (full length of time for HRT effects)(and that's not until you start hormones, so probably more like 7 or 8 ) assuming you are going to cut ties once your done, as you would most likely want to. I wouldn't really start my life until i was almost 30, and i would be in extreme debt then too. On top of that, there is no guarantee i would make it. I may not pass convincingly, or more likely I might die during transition. Unfortunately, a majority of people don't make it through transition, either stopping altogether due to financial issues, dieing from complication with hormone usage, or committing suicide because they were unprepared to deal with the mental stress of transition. (both internal and external).
On the other side, transexual individuals who dont transition young and are not on medication usually make it to about 40 years (add 2.5 years for every child they have) before they either have to transition from mental stress or commit suicide. While 40 years might not sound all that long, it's more than half the average lifespan (the average lifespan of a transgender individual is 23 years, with the staggering number of suicide and death) and more than enough time to live a full life if you are not occupied with transition. When the time comes, I don't know if ill commit suicide or try to transition then. I'll cross that bridge when i come to it. This is the path I chose, and I don't regret it so far.
That above is my personal experience. However, my situation is not the same as yours (no-ones ever is) and you should not equate it as such. What you need to do first is some research.
1.
Understand your condition, so that you can be confident against those who would tell you otherwise
Read and understand this:

Understand what your condition will entail
Read all of this:

and then read chapters 2&3
3.
Keep doing research!
Those are only a few that i still had bookmarked on my computer!
You need to read so much more!
This is not a decision to be made lightly!
4.
Keep aware of advances in science and technology. Crispr technology is huge, and we are getting scary good at manipulating and changing our bodys. This has a very real impact on how feasible transition may be.
Whatever happens, I wish you the best of luck! I hope all this works out for you one way or another. Whatever you do, be informed!
