           Why can't Susan's Place devise and put all these "ha" and "me too's " into an actual, real-life Survey/Poll of OUR own making . . .

. . . hint hint hint - Anybody?

I think so, I turned 28 two weeks ago, and at the same time I've been 1 year under treatment, I'm so grateful about everything that happened this year, how I look now and how people treat me all the time :)

Go for it!  I don't think it's hard to create a poll.

No one is either 'too old' or 'too young' when you Transition - you begin your journey when you are ready to do it, when you are at your correct age to do it.

For those who Transition later in life - you still have great experiences for the life you lived.  For we who Transition young, we live a life meant as it will be with its own set of experiences.  The 'What ifs?' abound for us all.

There is a famous Yogi Berra saying:  'When you get to the fork in the road, take it.'  He explained that his home was at the far end of a circular road, that it made no difference whether your turned left or turned right, you still got to his home.

Same for us all.  We arrive at our 'home' whichever is our fork in the road that we travel, young or old.

I was an out-to-my family Trans-child growing up during the 1950s and 1960s.  They considered it cute when I was young ('Oh, Nickie, what a cute little girl!'), but they opposed me as I got into my teens (my dad thought that he could beat it out of me).  I count my official start as when I turned age 18 (1974); I recently celebrated my 40th Anniversary when I began my participation in Stanford University's 'Gender Dysphoria' program (December 1977).  My Transition had its own twists and turns unforeseen when I began.  Yes, it was quite difficult back then - lack of Internet resources, certainly.

Awesome! Other 90's kids ;D! I turned 28 myself only a few weeks ago. I've been seeing a counselor since 2012 and have been on HRT for about two and a half years now.

Hello Sharon Anne

Precisely. We all transition whenever the time is right.

Just our of interest do you recall the name of the program as I assume they did not use the term "Dysphoria"? Briefly what did it cover apart from the obvious matters of transvestites and transsexuals? Did it cover the inner conflict between mind and body to a significant degree? Is it true in those days they thought incorrectly that all transsexuals were gay (before transition)? Did they not separate sexuality from gender as we do now?


Thanking you

Pamela
