I agree, Satyromania, to have started before puberty had a chance to do it evil things to us, chest growth and shark week. How old are you? 23 here and looking to starting T.  Do you like all the effects of T?

Currently not appropriate for me to talk about my age, sorry.

Well, not all of them. But I suppose cis men feel the same way too. Balding and higher blood pressure isnt that cool. But I dont really care. If I can start T in around a year from now, I'll be more than happy for the negatives too.

I COMPLETELY agree. Not transitioning is a huge mistake- not only does it affect your body in negative ways but it can affect those around you as well.
If you truly are transgender, the feelings will never go away because your gender truly is opposite of your sex. you can deny it and cover it up, but eventually it will become impossible to hide it anymore. I've seen it so many times with older transwomen and men, and its so sad for everyone involved.

Well said. As a 49 year old in transition now I have regrets for not transitioning at 15 after my imancipation. I've known I'm a girl from my first waking memory. I could list what i've gone through to get where I am now and the hurt and misery that could have been avoided had I done so, but I don't want to repeat my other posts.

I agree with OP 115%

Delaying transition for a military career that got cut short anyway is my singe largest regret in my life.  Now that I have started living full time and genuinely enjoying who and what I am, all that delaying just seems silly.

If I could go back and do it all over again I would have just transitioned and told the Navy recruiter to go to hell.

I wish that I had transitioned earlier, I really do, but I didn't and I need to live with my choices.

I do like the person I am though, so I can't regret too much.
