mtf how old were you when you began to transition?

[Shawnna]

l'm 56 and have been on HRT for about two years. I'm also scheduled for top surgery in about four months. 

I feel like I'm so much older than most of you.  I'm just curious how old you were when you first began to transition.

I started hrt 8 months ago at age 61.  But I started my transition when I was born.  Always had a feminine brain, just needed time to put my body in proper order.

Started e just after turning 62
Started other meds last year
Made the original choice when I turned 60

Well I started HRT on my 31st birthday, but about 5 and a half months before that is when I started getting things in order, I started coming out to friends and seeing a therapist and had meetings with a doctor about hormones, so if that counts then I guess I started at 30

I started at 54. I have been pleasantly surprised at the results so far, and I know there are more to come...

I started about a month after my 36th birthday. Congrats on your top surgery (:

Age is only a number, if you are healthy there is no age limit. HRT also tends to be a fountain of youth, makes us look 10 to 20 years younger. I started HRT at 63, and had srs at 66 and I will be 70 next month.  Life is wonderful.

51.

I started in 01-01-15

01=first day of my 01=new self 15 is opposite of 51

I started self meds first for 9 months then hrt.

PS I was going to start sooner but a friend asked me to give it a few more months to make sure I wanted to do this. I actually started my laser hair removal in December 2014

44, just could not stand not taking hrt anymore, hated my yucky male self, even in my crazy disruptive environment. Exact date is 11/28/2014 at around 8:30pm, first pill, girlfriend in tow and all, lol . Before that, I did hrt in my early 20's, after my stint in Mother Corps, I think 24-25, then stopped, due to no funds and restrictive environment. I just wanted to memorialize this for myself

I started at 53.5 years, started HRT on 12/07/16 changed name same day. Had GCS consult May 3rd 2017 and Gcs on January 5th 2018. I took Testosterone for low T from age 20 to October 15th 2016 I came out shortly after that.
