Know a streamer in her 50's. She's doing so much better mentally and physically after she started transitioning.
I've learned many things in life, but the single most important lesson has been to appreciate your mental health, and to take as much care of it as you can. You never know if or when it will leave you, but I can promise you that it's not worth being miserable if you can do anything to avoid it.
Sincerely, one who is married to a paranoid schizophrenic who didn't start out that way. Watching the descent and aftermath has been a chilling lesson in life.
My friend in her forties is doing better than ever now she's living as herself. She looks great and is doing better at a lot of stuff than when she was trying to pretend. There's lots of anti-trans prejudice, but it seems from here that it's easier to cope with when it's coming from other people rather than yourself.
