CW internalized transphobia, gender dysphoria

To be clear, I understand there’s no cutoff on the age of transition. But I swear to god I keep coming across this talking point made in the worst way possible. They’re trying to reassure young people who are insecure about having gone through their first puberty already but they’ll say some shit like, “I didn’t start transitioning until I was 24 and it still turned out well for me.” And you look at their before pictures and they were conventionally attractive and had other advantages like being transfemme with minimal natural body hair growth. Like goddamn that is not reassuring.

    Fuckin murders me that people could consider TWENTY FOUR YEARS OLD to be "too old to transition". I've met people who transitioned in their late 30s or 40s, dawg, Idk what to tell em. 24 is YOUNG to me.

    The whole idea around being "too old to transition" in the first place is the worst kind of /tttt/ brainworm. Who let this shit filter out to INFLUENCERS???
