To the trans girl reading this: it is never to late to transition. It is never too late to question your gender identity. It is never too late for anything. Live your dreams and be your happiest self. Don't leave yourself wondering of what could've been when it could be now. I will wrap my arms around you and embrace you, even if you want to transition in your mid 30s or 40s. Even if you've already had puberty and your body has developed. It will never be too late.
Started transition at 36, and now at nearly 44 I'm the happiest I've ever been. Basically every aspect of my life is massively improved, and I don't think I've really changed that much as a person — I just developed a willingness to advocate for myself, and that has made all the difference. And that's a skill you'll need to learn; it can't stop at just talking to a doctor and expecting everything else to fall into place. Your transition has to come from a real conviction that you deserve better than this, or you'll just be a sad lump with a prescription. Forge yourself. Decide who you want to be, and Climb. Those. Steps.
