i started hrt at 17, started truely transitionning at the same time

I came out to my wife and kids at 40, and completed what I call my identity transition (where I stopped thinking of myself as "David" and began thinking of myself as "Connie") at 41. I started HRT at this time and started my RLE shortly after turning 42.

So, my social transition is in progress. I'll consider that to be complete after the legal name/sex change.

My physical transition will be complete after SRS.

30 and just beginning.

Yay!!
Someone in my age group!

**I was feeling old in this crowd**

Tried to go fulltime before HRT at 16, but it was horrible and only made me more depressed.
Got on hormones at 17 on July 28, and I've been popping those pills ever since.

I'm not looking forward to going full time again just because of what happened to me the last time I tried.. it was a little scarring I guess.

So I'm not the only one who's had/has that problem?  Good to know.

Me too! High-five for 13! Unlucky for some! 

Unlucky? Me having three beautiful children who loves me unconditionally is not unlucky. If I did transition at 13, I would have not had Jacob, Natalie, and Caleb.

For me it was not unluckiness. It was grace.

Oops! I was actually referring to the saying that the number thirteen is unlucky for some. "Thirteen; unlucky for some" is just a saying. I didn't mean that others were unlucky for not being thirteen. Sorry about that! I didn't mean to imply anything about anyone else, I was just making reference to the saying about thirteen being an unlucky number.

Sorry everyone!

I didn't manage to work my way into living full time until I was 14, though. Pesky school. But I did manage to get on HRT before there was any real awareness of young transitioners in Australia, so there were fewer roadblocks in place.

Surgery didn't happen until over ten years later, though, at the furthest side of 24.

Sooooo jealous..
I didn't have the chance to start until 18-19

I've lived full time since I as 15. I've started hormones and I am 18 now.

Forced to come out at age 19 by my Mum, Foiled until this year: February 22, 2011, 11am, age 32. Went full time 2 months later.

I took the first pill at May 15, 2011, 14:28pm (Spanish time  ).
I had the first appointment with my psychologist the day after, and I said to her: "I need an endocrinologist".
(EDIT: At age 44)
