35 has been a good year for me... finally admitted it to myself, started coming out, started HRT, went full-time, and now FFS is scheduled for a few days before my 36th birthday later this month!

Started at 49, (6 yrs ago in May) though I had always been a little feminine and my hair had always been longer.

I don't know if there was a clearly defined "starting point" because, from before my earliest memory. I always felt I
WAS
a girl and tried very hard to resist being pushed in a male direction as early as age 5 (my first encounter with gendered washrooms). I always had a wardrobe that included at least some feminine items. By age 13 or 14 I had two wardrobes - one male-ish and one feminine - and lived partially en femme (whenever I could get away with it). By my latter teens, I lived mostly unisex or straight-out female.
There was no legal way to 'transition' in those days (1950s & 1960s) so I didn't fully transition until surgery became available in 1974. At that point, transition was like flipping a switch.

55. And ok that it took so long, the choices are crystal clear.
Oh how I envy the young ones here they all look amazing. It was a different era... it could have happened at 18 if I was born later. But I wouldn't have the wife and kids... so I am cool with late transition.

Sh'e took the little blue ones.

Very beginning at 41 and 2 months, but ex wouldn't allow anything
After a divorce I started therapy at 41 and 7 months
Started HRT at 42 and 2 months
Went full-time/FFS at 43 and 10 months
SRS at 45 and 10 months
The rest as they say is herstory. 🙂

Do we start the count down? You know what happened to a sister of ours when she did!! Maybe when I get my date you go? But it is always your choice.
