    I think it's a community thing as well as an experience thing. Very contextual.

    When I'm in a trans community of young people, I'm often the old lady who came out back when these whippersnappers were in elementary school. I have some knowledge and experience that can be helpful.

    When I'm hanging out with cool old ladies at irl events who came out in the 90s, or my peers who came out in the 2000s, I definitely do not have that status.

    Sometimes I withdraw from Trans Society, and then I'm just an old trans woman who has been out for a long time - it wouldn't feel right to call myself an "elder", even if I would be that in many contexts.
