Starting transition ftm this year. I'm 44.

I'd say I started when I was 37 but did most of it when I was 38. I am not counting the coming out to my brother when I was 8 or the "almost" at 30, I'm talking "this is what I am doing and here is my plan" and following through with it

Yes I look like a wrinkly teenager. Hahaha. ( 44 years ) (^ ^)

Thanks Nero. 
If you live in a smaller community it is difficult to find information these days. It was even more difficult in years past, the average person would not have heard of GID in the 1970's or earlier in lots of places.

I hate giving away my age but lets just say I know there was a Time Magazine (A Blog printed on paper for you youngsters) published in the mid 1970s that had an article about a man that through surgery and taking female hormones was now a woman!?  And I seem to remember that whatever she had done seemed to have worked well.  I recall cutting that out and hiding it like a spy with a secret code.  Looking at it maybe 13000 times and learning that there were others who had the same thing done.  Most of this was published as if they were reporting on a freakshow.  SIGH

I did try and transition at 22 but the pychologist I went to told my young and very impresionable self that I was a sexual deviant and I was going to ruin my life. He told me to stop wearing girls clothes, marry a good girl and have children and these feelings would go away.
Took me anouther 19 years before I started transition.
If I had been stronger mentaly, or had walked into the office of a good threpist I would have had a vastly diferant life. I believed what that Dr. told me. I took it too heart. I really thought that I had a serious psychosexual disorder for many years.
Thinking about it bring a fresh wash of old tears.

I think there is such a wide range of doctors that go from great to worse then no doctor at all.  That aside I want to be in a band called "_________ and the Serious Psychosexual Disorders"

61.  I date the start of my transition from when I came out to my wife.
