Would you rather have transitioned as a (pre)teen?

My first reaction to this question was: Do you even have to ask?  Certainly I would have liked to transition earlier - in the womb, when I was 5, when I was 10, whenever.  But the word "transsexual" wasn't invented until I was 23 years old.  It was a different time and transitioning wasn't even a concept. 

And if I transitioned earlier I wouldn't have my daughter...  When I started hormones I thought: Wow, I wish I'd done this 40 years ago.  But then I remembered my 36 year-old daughter and revised that to 35 years ago. ;)

If I transitioned earlier, I would be a different person.  I kind of like who I am now. :icon_chick:  And the past is past.  Live for the present to make a better future.

I would have transitioned in grade school if I had been given the opportunity. And I did the best I could with what I had at my disposal.

My doc said he just wished they could've gotten me at 8 years old, before I turned into the jolly white giant.
