Can we get a late transitioner thread??? >took hormones at

>>8802635
tbqhon are you the edgy one???

>>8802635
How much did you change between 20 and 28?

>late late transitioner
>start hormones at 24
>now 26 and half and still don't pass
>look like a gross metalhead
forever alone tbqhon

>>8802635
I started at 20 but stopped due to family friends and mostly fear. I'm 24 now and could get hormones again but afraid I wont pass so I keep on delaying it more. I will probably end up transitioning eventually and turn into a hon.

>>8802648
Probably a lot, those are the years where your shoulders start getting big, the hair on your head starts falling out, you grow gorilla hair all over, and your voice becomes so deep it's not even worth wasting your time pretending it'll ever pass without surgery.

>>8802648
When I was 20
>never had facial or body hair
>never had muscles I was skinny and tiny
>could fit into a small tshirt in womens
>I had a higher pitched voice
>had way softer features on my face I looked way young for my age when I was in high school I looked like I belonged in middle school
>if I grew out my hair and fixed it up I could pass easily
At 28
>I have facial hair
>body hair
>my body is way more masculine muscles not to big but when I try on a girl clothing now I'm way to big for some of it
>my face definitely is leaning more masculine now hard features you can tell with makeup
>I don't pass anymore even with long hair
>I'm gonna need ffs
>plus the years of cigarettes and drinking and stress I got bags under my eyes and look like a mess

>>8802655
Hello me

>>8802635

>Year is 2001. 10 year old me realizes that transgender is the word for these feelings I'm having.
>Go online to read more about this
>Stumble upon Susan's
>See gross hons everywhere
>Don't want to be like them someday
>Run back into the closet and lock the key for another 10 years
>Be me 20 years old and finally trans feelings are too much to lock away
>Still look feminine cause of asian genes
>No body hair, little facial hair, narrow jaw, feminine forehead
>Doesn't notice the urgency of the situation
>Tries to make thoughts go away because obviously I can't be a tranny that is too extreme
>Fast forward to 2015. Age 24.
>Finally accept that transition isn't a choice but a necessity
>Start making appointments with necessary people
>Fast forward to 2017. Age 25.7. Finally on hormones
>Wide manly jaw, more facial hair, wide shoulders, big ribcage, narrow hips.

The irony is the very thing I feared becoming the most has made me the hon I am today.

All late transitioners have the same story anon. The best we can do is be thankful we've come around and try to live life as best we can from this point on... and save up for surgery. Its going to be tough and there's going to be downsides. But Repressing on hrt is not nearly as hard as without it. Maybe you'll pass one day I mean it's not like you started at 50. Or even 40. Just don't let the regret consume your life because it definitely can. I advise you to get a good therapist who deals with this kind of stuff and stay the fuck off this site its literal cancer and full of bitter cunts. Best of luck to you

>tfw transitioned at 21 in a safe environment with a supporting family
fml should have done it at 16

>>8803173
Why 16 and not 12, then? If they supported you, you could've looked cis.

>>8803173
I'm about to do this minus a supporting family. self medding at 21, pretty much just wish I'd started just a couple years earlier or known it was an option then. I kept blaming my problems on other things.

>>8803024
>See gross hons everywhere
I blame caitlyn jenner
thats the only tranny I knew about besides pornstars for the longest time-
so to my knowledge all trannies either did shemale porn or looked like that.
so I didn't even think twice about it.

>>8803024
How does one change so much in only 5 years? That's pretty scary. I'm sorry this happened though, anon. Don't you stop growing in your late teens?

>>8802806
>when I try on a girl clothing now I'm way to big for some of it
What size of clothing?

>>8803024
>The irony is the very thing I feared becoming the most has made me the hon I am today.

This fucking statement more or less defines the entire generation of young adult transitioners. We all grew up with Susan's and Laura's being our primary source of information concerning the transgender community, and of course that shit was so frightening that all of us ended in repression mode in our most vital years, and are only now transitioning in our 20s.

>>8803904
It sucks because we just barely missed the trans boom of the 2010s. Kids who grew up in the 2000s get access to knowledge and support with the click of a mouse. It hurts watching others transition early and live as girls just for being born slightly later ;_;

>>8803920
And don't get me wrong. I'm happy for future generations. I'm just sad that things could've turned out so differently if I had been born a bit later (or the acceptance boom happened earlier)

>>8803928
I have recurring nightmares where I'm forced to interact with young teen transitioners

>>8803197
>implying i want a baby dick unable to get SRS like jazz

>>8803904
>>8803920
>>8803928
defo feel this. just turned 23, about 4 mo on self med but have an endo appointment for early october to get my levels actually good, but i've known i was trans since age 17 just was terrified of transition bc i thought i'd never be accepted by anyone and hiding in depression and substance abuse to keep from thinking about the inevitability of aging as a male. at this point i don't think i'll ever quite pass, hopefully i won't look like a hon at least but i'll hopefully achieve some level of female-leaning androgyny at the very least. who knows

Started transitioning at 19. Definitely not an early transitioner, but late transitioner doesn't really feel right. What am I?

>>8803974
wouldn't suporn's method work for that?

>>8803991
suporn will retire in 2019

>>8803991
More like a mid transitioner.
There are always options for SRS. You can take split thickness skin grafts from somewhere on the body if necessary. That's common when there are SRS complications that require new skin grafts. Sigmoid colon vaginas are also possible, though I think I'd rather go the skin graft route than do that.
Meshifying the graft like Suporn does can allow you to use less tissue.
What penile and scrotal tissue early transitioners have will be used. Being uncircumsized would help of course.

>>8803973
What happens in those nightmares?

And actually, I've met a young teen transitioner at my university, though thankfully never had to interact with her. She was petite and very feminine, and it was only because she seemed to be openly trans that I knew. Just seeing her made me want to kill myself.

>>8804011
His method will carry on, though. He's passing it down- and really, that's the primary special thing about suporn. I wouldn't trust his team right away, but in a few years they could easily be pretty competent.

And if it becomes more common for it to be needed, people are gonna switch from penile inversion.

>>8803451

DESU I was exaggerating a bit. The most noticeable change was my jawline though but that slight change makes me now need FFS to pass imo.

I am 1 year and 10 months into transition, I pass and have a cis gf who I have been with for 3 years but will probably leave her soon. I started just after turning 24 (fucking gate keeping I could have started early-mid 23)

Anyway, I have my paperwork in and am waiting on a date for SRS with Brussard and Can't wait. I am a lesbian and the thought of trying to date other lesbians while still having a penis is gross. Time will tell.

|dk what else to say so ama.

>>8804028
Pretty banal shit. I'll just be somewhere, and they'll be sitting near me or something. We have to talk for whatever reason but all that goes through my head is how normally female they look and sound and how disgusting and manly I do, and what a fucking joke I am compared to them. It makes me sick and the dreams remain burned in my head.
I wish I had met some tran when I was in uni, although if she was young teen transitioner I'd feel just like you. I couldn't bear that shit and I hope trans sort of fades into obscurity as time goes on so I won't have to be forever reminded of what I missed out on

>>8803904
the fuckin problem now is all the kids only care about if they'll pass
throwing around words like failed men,

like wtf? its susans v2.0

>>8804062
What? Susan's is the last place that cares about passing. This place is the opposite of Susan's.

>>8804064
just stop, phone poster.

>>8804067
>phone poster
lolwut

>>8803024
You are litearlly me.
>also asian
>also repressed till 25
>Too hon to ever be passable but started mones anyways.
It really kills me inside that I had the asian easy mode but not anymore.

>>8804308
When does Asian easy mode end? What's the rough equivalent of a 20 year old Asian compared to white people?

>>8804317
it probably depends on whether someone has later or early onset puberty from teostostrone poisoning. My shoulder became broader in my early 20s.. RIP

>facial and body hair by 16
>think transitioning is purely surgery because homeschooled and religious parents didn't bother with biology and the only visible trans stuff I knew of was hons talking about "the surgery"
>finally start at 24
>going to need to spend stupid money on ffs and hair removal

>>8804359
I'm 21 and im just as bad off if not worse.
the fuck did I do wrong

>>8804050
I'm 25 and getting on hormones soon
I can barely stand to say i'm trans or i'm a lesbian out loud
loneliness is killing me but I can't force myself to start a relationship with someone knowing I'd have to come out, and I can't just out myself form the get-go
whatever the tranny equivalent of wizardhood is, I know I'm gonna end up there

>>8804383
hit post too early
It honestly feels like there's no point to even trying to transition for me, I'm tall and broad and hairy and deep-voiced, the best I can hope for is going on HRT and staying perma-boymode before I inevitably eat a bullet at 35
idgaf if I can't really even post here if I haven't technically transitioned yet

>life was shit for almost a decade
>can't figure out what's wrong with me
>learn what trans is
>too depressed to do shit about it
>28
>aww fuck it
>start HRT
>turns out my T was never high to begin with
>doctors even suspect intersex since my skeleton is rather female
>mones work literal wonders
>pass better as time goes on
>pretty sure i'll be golden in few months or so if keep doing voice training daily

I got lucky as it all comes down to genes I suppose.
Some people are fucked at 16 and some can transition at 40 and turn out great.
It's always worth a shot if you ask me since just taking mones is improving your mental health at least.

>>8804361
How bad anon?

>>8804359
>hons talking about "the surgery"
I think hons can be guilty of magical thinking regarding SRS. HRT doesn't do enough to feminize them, so they start thinking SRS will finally make them women. They are setting themselves up for disappointment.
SRS makes more sense if you have genital dysphoria, but thinking it will compensate for the shortcomings of HRT does not make sense.

>>8804418
It's just that the hons I was aware of never brought up hormones and I didn't really get biology well enough to know what to look for on my own. Like I thought they were talking about massive cosmetic surgery (more like The Skin I Live In than normal transition).

Took me way too long to figure out hormones were even a thing and that was after peak depression from thinking I'd never have "surgery" money so it took even longer to start them.

At least my body turned out okay even if my face is fucked, too bad that's what matters.

>>8802635
Just be yourself. People will love you if you love yourself. Transitioning doesn't equal happiness. If you're truly happy, it won't matter what body you're in.

>>8804308

add me on discord kyu #6887. I wanna compare hon-ness lol

tfw forced to transition 2 years later @ 18
hard life

Started at 21, got scared after two weeks and repressed for another year. Took shrooms, they gave me an acid flashback (acid being one of the worst things I've ever done) where a voice in my head literally told me to suicide or transition for about 4 constant hours.

Been self medding for 3 weeks now, at 22. Have I left it too late?

>>8804858
hmm it doesnt work. Mine is #3754.

Don't do meth.

Neat! I am happy for you. This >>8804050 is me and I was also low T prior to transition.

>>8805029
Worst experience of my life. I was on my own thankfully but I lost all concept of reality, thought background buzzing was my phone ringing and then got it in my head that I'd told my grandparents and family I was a sissy and just kept hearing them ask me what I'd done to myself over and over again
I'd done shrooms before the acid and liked them and thought they'd be safe, but now it just seems to give me acid flashbacks
Curious if other trans people had the same kind of experiences?

I was also an early bloomer, God wanted a laff I guess. At least my body didn't get -worse- from there, but it got fucked p quickly

Probably gonna start at 24. At the very least I'm not too out of the norm for what measurements a 6 foot tall woman would have since I have mild androgen insensitivity. I got man hands and man brow but eh shit happens, at least the latter is fixable.

that looks like an average guy with gyno, have you been checking levels?

>>8805622
Yup, I've been at 150-250 pg/mL since 3 months in.

And those hips/fat distribution aren't really average guy..

>>8805613
They're about the same size, it's nice.

>>8805652
I mean low-test chubby guys who get gyno

>>8805687
What do you expect? It's a late transition thread, I transitioned late. Estrogen isn't magic.

>>8805717
>Estrogen isn't magic.
I disagree. With the right genes even late it can totally be. I have actually had cis girls say they are jealous of me for different physical attributes.

>>8808618
like being tall and having muscles and no fat flabs? females can often be jelly of superior male physique

but yeah its a lot to do with genetics

>>8804736
