There's no point transitioning when you are an adult that's for sure 
I don't mean to beat up on you BG, but there are those of us who were not afforded the opportunities to transition at an early age.
I started my transition when I was 55 and I am now approaching 60. Had I attempted it when I was 18, or even mentioned it when I was 12, I would not have been welcomed with such open minded acceptance from my parents or mental health professionals.
By time I was 45 I was in nearly constant suicidal ideation and clinical depression. And by time I was 50 I had attempted suicide three times. I know that sooner or later I would have gotten it right and finally offed myself.
So for me, the point was to transition or die. My children agreed that they'd much rather have a living parent rather than a dead father.
I know next to nothing about you BG, and if you have managed to transition under the age of 30, you are most certainly blessed. And I am very happy for you.
