cw brainwormQuestion: if one does the transition later in life, does it still work? Does it make sense to transition at ~30? I mean, for me the dysphoria/euphoria isnt that bad, i dont feel a lot of anything but its still kind of weird. Also i expect my country to ban transition stuff in a few years thonk-cri

[–] magi@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

I transitioned in my mid 30s, anyone at any age should transition if they feel they need to, especially if they have any amount of dysphoria but some don't get dysphoria. I am agender and don't get euphoria.

I've met folks who'd transitioned well into their 50s, I've known of others in their 60s and up too.
The sooner the better, but it's never too late. You do what you've got to tbh

If this is because of that tweet I s2g. But why wouldn't it work?

[–] hopelessbyanxiety@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Have no idea what tweet you talk about.

possible cognito hazard ☢️Maybe its some brainworms like the longer you wait the harder it gets? So its really a brainworm? Its not real??

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

GOOD

I mean it gets harder in that your life can get more entrenched, harder to uproot maybe? Partner stuff? But otherwise nah. Age doesn't really correlate.

Is a weird coincidence if they haven’t been browsing the bear.

There was a bad tweet in a post, telling people not to transition after 30.

One of the worst Elon Musk Rotsite posts I have seen!

[–] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

I’ve been seeing a lot of transition timelines on Twitter in response

[–] SnowySkyes@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

I started transitioning at 33. Trust me when I say it works. I’m 35 now and I pass. And yes, I grew breasts. If you wish, I can go more in depth about my journey if that would help you.

30 is fucking nothing age-wise, i know a lot of people who've had incredible results starting at that age or later. It's always worth it. Also, age-limiting transition is one of the most toxic, brainwormed discourses that exists in trans spaces and should seriously be put behind a CW and spoilers if you feel the need to discuss it. I'm not saying "don't talk about that shit", i get that you need to discuss these feelings to come to terms with them and that's fine, but we need to keep the community safe and that absolutely means that people who just come here to relax and shitpost are given the option to avoid that kind of thing when they don't want to be exposed to it.

[–] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think there’s age difference mostly between 10 and 21 and if you don’t get blockers by then, 25 is as good as 45.

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Yes. I was 31 when I came out and at 34 now I pass perfectly fine.

It's never too late to start.
