Most medical literature on trans people assumes that the vast majority of trans people started getting gender dysphoria since being small children. I suspect that a good portion of us got it later than that.

What was your experience with this?

    There’s still that guy in the mirror, but every now and then I manage to get a glimpse of how I could look in the future.

    Though it’s hard for me to look past the beardshadow, that one’s really screwing with me

      I was like that up until recently too. The sudden flashes of a girl I’ve never seen in the mirror then suddenly seeing my “guy self” again, that kinda stuff. Although I have never really had a beard, my mustache hair was super dark for a long time but has thinned with hrt. Its not super visible now, but still bugs the sugar honey ice tea out of me!
