Francis,
Late? I stared hrt in my late 50's.
I too had lots of trips to the doctor's office.
My memories at 5 are of a scary man.
I think that I may have had both male and female parts, but not sure.
But I did not remember most of them until I started therapy.
And they still are slowly coming.
Yesterday I remember that my mom used to brush the snarls out of my long hair.
I must have been 3 or 4. And then that around 6 my dad took me to the barber shop to get a flat top.

It was the man thing to do he said.
Anyway this is my second attempt. First time my family upset me so from their reactions that I quit for a few years.
But no more. I was so miserable after I quit I just wanted to die.
I sure you can do it this time hon.
Hugs
Jillieann
