started when i was 18, didn't start T until a month after my 23rd birthday. that was my own fault as i wasn't in school, etc. to have my "real life experience" like i needed (which was a requirement then to start hormones). getting my top surgery this spring. my goal was to be fully transitioned by the time i was 24 and it looks like i will be done a month before my 24th birthday.

I started when I was 21; realized it myself, told family and friends and started the actual therapy process. I'm now 24, on T and post top surgery and hysto. :P

I would be curious to see a FTM poll separate from a MTF poll.  My understanding is that the average age for trans woman to transition is later than a trans man.  I'm curious to know if Susan.org's follows this pattern.

I'm on the later end for trans men.  I started testosterone at 44, top surgery was at 43.  When I got the top surgery I wasn't certain if I was going to socially transition or not.

It was about 2PM, I think.

All kidding aside, I was 43 years, 8 months, 19 days.

I was just a few months younger than Jill. 43 years, 6 months... not sure how many days. :P

We're all pretty close.

I was 44 years, 5 months, and 9 days for T.  BUT, I was only 43 years, 6 months, and 10 days for top surgery.

i told my mom that i no longer wanted to wear dresses at age 4, so as long as i've been able to think for myself. i started t at age 19.... would've been 16 or 17 but anxiety got in the way.

I knew I was trans and that I wanted to transition at age 15-16 I'd say, came out to parents and started therapy at age 18, started hormones at age 19, this year I'm gonna turn 20 in May, when I'll be 8-9 months on T. According to plan, I'll have had top surgery by the end of 2016 (so I'll be 21 years old at most, if everything goes as planned).

I voted in the 28-33 range, even though I'm just starting my journey and I'm currently 28 I'm hopping that I'll have a lot more accomplished by the time I'm 33.

I'm a middle-ager... Top surgery at 40, started hormones 3 months after.  Still working on trying to feel right in this body.

I knew the discrepancy between mind and body was there, but I didn't acknowledge it until I was 13, 14. I buried those feelings until age 17, when I came out and started living socially as male. I started transitioning medically at 18.
