Hey sport, keep in mind, at the ripe old age of 23, the world you occupy is very different to the one some of the older members here grew up in. There's people here in their 60's+, can you imagine how different life was if you were trans, and 20 years old in 1970? I'm a decade older than you, and the change in society in just the last 10 years has been dramatic. When I was in high school, there was no such thing as queer support groups, in my city there were no dr's with any experience with hrt. It took me around 8 years of battling to get a prescription.
