This post is dedicated to all the peeps (and they know who they are) who were critical and part of the team effort it took (and still does) to help me evolve and grow into as trans author Sharon Davis calls it, a finer specimen of womanhood.

One of the things I have to repeatedly point out is that trans women go from zero to femininity.  At whatever age we begin the transition, we have to acquire the same knowledge base as a cis woman our same age, but don't have the same length of time she did to do so.  We are also opposed by a disapproving society as we attempt to embark on this feminine journey.
