l'm 56 and have been on HRT for about two years. I'm also scheduled for top surgery in about four months. 

I feel like I'm so much older than most of you.  I'm just curious how old you were when you first began to transition.

I started hrt 8 months ago at age 61.  But I started my transition when I was born.  Always had a feminine brain, just needed time to put my body in proper order.

Well I started HRT on my 31st birthday, but about 5 and a half months before that is when I started getting things in order, I started coming out to friends and seeing a therapist and had meetings with a doctor about hormones, so if that counts then I guess I started at 30

Age is only a number, if you are healthy there is no age limit. HRT also tends to be a fountain of youth, makes us look 10 to 20 years younger. I started HRT at 63, and had srs at 66 and I will be 70 next month.  Life is wonderful.
When we first start our journey the perception and moral values all dramatically change in wonderment. As we evolve further it all becomes normal again but the journey has changed us forever.

44, just could not stand not taking hrt anymore, hated my yucky male self, even in my crazy disruptive environment. Exact date is 11/28/2014 at around 8:30pm, first pill, girlfriend in tow and all, lol :). Before that, I did hrt in my early 20's, after my stint in Mother Corps, I think 24-25, then stopped, due to no funds and restrictive environment. I just wanted to memorialize this for myself :)
