Transition should be done before age 18 (lemmy.ca)

I'm not creating this post to make people feel sad or hopeless but saying "it's never too late" is just unrealistic and stupid.

It's always too late for transition, and you still have to transition. The best case would be never entering the wrong puberty but this is almost impossible for all of us thanks to fascist governments/society who don't care about us.

At age 18, male puberty ends. It gets even worse until 25, and keeps getting worse if you don't start HRT ASAP.

I could pass without surgeries if I transitioned at age 15-16, maybe I would get surgery for my voice but that's it.

I don't care if you're doing well after transitioning at age 25, just never say "it's never too late for transition".

I would be brutally honest but I don't want to trigger anyone but even though I transitioned at age 18 I'm not getting triggered by people who transitioned at age 15.

You can't give people advice with your feelings.

This is toxic as fuck. I transitioned at 38 and couldn't be happier about it. All you are doing with this is using your anger at the world to sling shit at other trans people and its not healthy.

Whenever you do it is the right time. You cant turn back the clock, no one can. That isnt a reason to give up. Happiness is possible.
