    cw: dysphoria

    i'm a 20yo trans girl, pre-everything—don't think i'll be able to transition to any degree until i'm on my own health insurance, which won't be for another few years. i'm really paranoid that it'll be Too Late and my physical transition will be diminished because i waited so long, and i'll always look halfway like a man and never escape my dysphoria. doesn't help that i have pretty bad body hair. can anyone let me know if i'm psyching myself out or if this is a reasonable fear to have? is it too late for me already? sorry if this is a dumb question, i've never really been able to talk to anyone about this before.

        that's really good advice, thanks. sometimes it's easy to forget how much power i have to make myself feel better now, without the need for a prescription etc. good point about the later starters, too. cheers, feeling a bit more hopeful.
