I don't know if transitioning would have saved Infinite.

Like, headcanon all you want, but as he actually appears in Sonic Forces, Infinite's whole thing is: 1. he's an absolute Ow The Edge-lord, 2. he's obsessed with being the most powerful person in the room at any given moment, and 3. he's just the worst sore loser in existence. He literally called himself "the ultimate mercenary" when he was the leader of the Jackal Squad, and when Shadow the Hedgehog beat the crap out of him in the Episode Shadow cutscene, it shattered his ego so badly, he let Eggman turn him into a guinea pig for his Phantom Ruby experiments. Like, just that alone is very telling. Absolutely nothing in the history of Doctor Eggman's career should inspire you to trust him of all people to alter your body. Our heterochromic jackal buddy somehow cares more about having raw destructive power than permanently being made into one of Eggman's minions. Also in the Custom Hero's boss fight against him, when you bring him down to half health he flips the fricking fricky frick out, as if he hadn't been complaining just a moment ago in the preceding cutscene that the world wasn't offering him any challenges.

I don't know what estrogen would've done to ... that, but, like. I'm trying to imagine Infinite being saved, or fixed, or whatever, and still being recognizably himself -- even in a transgender capacity! -- and I just can't see it. All I can really see changing is that she'd be more cheerful about setting people on fire and blasting them with cannons she conjured up. And maybe getting into arguments with Eggman about the shitty HRT offered by the Eggman Empire's health plan, but honestly since canon-Infinite uses the Phantom Ruby for everything.

... although, if he's transmasc, then transitioning has absolutely made him worse (affectionate), yeah.

While I agree with your entire point, I just wanna mention that his squad was killed....! Like, right before he got beat by Shadow...!
