I remember hearing a guy at an FTM meeting saying he did not wish to go through it in his thirties. I went through it (am still going through it?) in my fifties, and found it quite brilliant.
"Just the other day I was thinking how great it was to be going through adolescence and being able to do all those things that we would not have been allowed to do (legally or by parents) in our original adolescence. And the thought of traveling to an adulthood in our desired form is awesome."
I also liked my second puberty and adolescence at the age of forty-two. I don't know if there is a correlation between the age of transition and the enjoyment or non-enjoyment of a revisited (and revised) puberty, but maybe we'll find out in the Comments section.
