For 7 years i’ve hated myself, my body, and my manliness to the point it ruined my prospects of becoming an ivy league student, please tell me it’s worth it to start at 20. Please
>>44024243Before I would've said yes definitely humans develop until age 25 your voice can drop at least you're not a cambrianshit etcBut in all honesty it depends on how you look and how much money you haveI know for a fact that iwnbaw and i started at 19
>>44024243That sad sad reality of the matter is that you need to transition or you'll just kill yourself in your late 30s/early 40s. Especially in the world we live now, knowing you didnt even have to wait that long, you'll probably really hate yourself if you do. Late transitioners you see now have the excuse of not having access to this info, and I imagine that helps them to cope with the whole life they spent as character, but you have information they would probably kill to have access to at your age. Use it.I started at 19 and I definitely look clockable, but it's preferable. It's really not that bad once you get over your internalized transphobia. The dysphoria will probably always sting a bit, but it can get so much better than it will repping.
22, 4 months HRT, repper since 16the last four months have been the best months of my lifei’m 6’2 and will never pass but it’s ok cause i will just look like every other clocky futch in bushwickbuy needles on amazon cause pharmacies in the city suckqgtm
>mid 30>started hrt this yearLoving it so far even if I (have to) manmode... for now at least.>>44024421>you have information they would probably kill to have access to at your ageTrue and I wish I'd have started much earlier but I've been fucked in my head for pretty much all my life, things were much different back then and I came to terms with how much I wanted this only recently. Slight balding but aside from that, people still estimate I'm mid 20.
>>44024243Hell yes it's worth it, nona :>
>>44024918That's real strength. Fuck this world for trying to grind us all down. People like you are unironically what give me faith in the species.
>>44025033Thanks!It took, among a few other things, a lot of mental power, severe masking and finding out I might be AuDHD, tens of thousands of hours of just thinking (including, still, processing the DV and neglect during my childhood, as well as their effects that are still with me) and almost daily an hero thoughts during all this to finally be a me I can accept and (for now only sometimes, after starting hrt) even like at least to a small degree. So I'm actually a bit proud of having learned to just ignore the really bad thoughts without therapy and (fairly recently) gaining the ability to suppress them through a bit of therapy; having learned to live again when I died in my head a million times in a war against myself. Even if it's just to hold my middle finger up to life itself and, at last, say "fuck you, I won!"
>>44025275Awww! That is really inspirational, nona!! :)
