Is there a difference from transitioning at 19 vs 20? Aesthetically?

Hey guys! I would like to get your advice on a couple of things.

I am 17 years old and i will be graduating high school in june. I will turn 18 years old on august 26. My father tells me that theres a great job offer at his job $15/hour for me there once I turn 18. I hope to work there for maybe 18 months and 1. purchase a car, 2. start saving money for surgeries, 3. start hair removal surgeries, and 4. start taking T-blockers, NOT estrogen.

It would be a male environment and I would not feel comfortable to take estrogen and transition around my father and his co-workers. I would technically be leaving that job in March 2017.

My question is: would there be a difference if I started HRT at 19 years old compared to 20 years old? However, keep in mind that I will start T-blockers before I turn 19.

You have pretty much asked the same question here https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,184371.0.html
and we don't allow cross/double posting on the forum so I'm locking this thread for now and deleting shortly.

The short answer to your question is, no there is going to be virtually no difference in that period of time unless you're genetically predisposed towards suddenly losing all your hair to MPB at age 19 and a half...
