How to handle the actual transition, socially

So my child is 14, a trans boy, and he expressed at our last check up that he would like to take the next step to start hormones and top surgery. I know where I live it is possible, as my brother is a trans man and had socially transitioned several years before turning 18, had top surgery at 17 and started hormones a while before. It's possible. We have the resources. I'm just afraid with the political climate what this will mean for my child. My brother changed his gender on his ID and birth certificate before Trump put these executive orders out. Can anyone tell me, realistically, how transitioning in THIS social environment, is going to look? Is it safe? I just don't want my kid to be hurt, beat up, harassed. I'm afraid for his safety, also his mental health if he isn't able to make the changes he wants to feel comfortable in his body. Any advice is welcome, but please be kind.
