Just come out as a chaser. You can stop wasting your time in tranny threads pretending to be 'fighting the good fight'.

If I were truly trans then I why did I wait until I was 19 to start hrt?
OP, you're young. It's not over and most of passing is genetics anyways. Youngshits get better bodies and the voice I guess but generally speaking genetics is king.
Why did I wait until 25? Because my social life was never in a good spot and I was scared and hateful of what I was so I repressed. Now Im cursed and fight grabbing my shotgun daily. be happy you started with a 1 in your age, you have a chance but Im ngmi
Did you have dysphoria before starting HRT? Did HRT help with your dysphoria even somewhat? Congratulations, you are objectively truetrans, and I have the brain scan studies to prove it.
The abstract from the third study has a pretty useful summary: >Transgender persons experience incongruence between their gender identity and birth-assigned sex. The resulting gender dysphoria (GD), is frequently treated with cross-sex hormones. However, very little is known about how this treatment affects the brain of individuals with GD, nor do we know the neurobiology of GD. We recently suggested that disconnection of fronto-parietal networks involved in own-body self-referential processing could be a plausible mechanism, and that the anatomical correlate could be a thickening of the mesial prefrontal and precuneus cortex, which is unrelated to sex. Here, we investigate how cross-sex hormone treatment affects cerebral tissue in persons with GD, and how potential changes are related to self-body perception.
>significant Cth decreases were observed in the mesial prefrontal and parietal cortices, in both TrM and TrW (vs. controls) – regions showing greater pre-treatment Cth than in controls. The own body – self congruence ratings increased with treatment, and correlated with a left parietal cortical thinning. These data confirm our hypothesis that GD may be associated with specific anatomical features in own-body/self-processing circuits that reverse to the pattern of cisgender controls after cross-sex hormone treatment
There are several studies in this general direction showing that all trans people, regardless of direction of transition or sexual orientation share a set of structural differences from cis people in the self/body processing regions of the brain that correspond to gender incongruence and dysphoria, and cross sex hormone treatment physically reduces the scale of those structural brain differences towards cis norms as it increases gender congruence.
No idea about you anon, but I had it drilled into my head that nobody cares what I want, I shouldn't make a scene, others know what's good for me, and if anything something seems off but no one else noticed then I'm just imagining things.
no matter how bad you think you got it, you seriously have no idea how worse you dodged between 19 and 30. have patience, make a plan for whatever it is that you're gonna need, and in 5-10 years you're basically gonna get a 2nd shot at your whole 20s
trans people don't exist
hrt is just glorified self harm
men can't become women
yes. and?

because shit sucks.
Jfc please get committed already instead of bpd shitting up the board over and over
Who cares about trutrans, just live your life
t. can't stop hating myself for being a trender
This but 20. Why didn't I start as soon as I turned 18? Am I really trutrans?
fuck off soph
Sorry anon if you didn't start hrt at 4 months old you're a tucute. Kys jurrasicshit

could you post them?
Sure.

I waited because I did not know what HRT was. For a long time I assumed being trans was just bottom surgery and/or crossdressing
the "sex change operation" meme and its consequences.
perhaps you are both Trans and Stupid
