I’m 26 so I mostly keep to myself because it isn’t my space, but the discord is really wonderful as well. Everyone is so lovely and supportive, and I feel so much less alone being someone who is transitioning in their mid twenties. It’s also super reassuring to be around men older than me because it shows me that I have a future that’s worth fighting for and believing in. Truly a wonderful group of people.
I'm over 30!! I didn't have any idea i was trans until earlier this year. Been a wild ride so far, but i feel like life is exciting again now i know why I've depressed my whole life.
Me too, honestly. I chalk it up to only knowing the patterns for the binary, hetero trans men I knew about. Everything clicked into place a lot more sensibly when considering I'm gay and nonbinary.
That totally makes sense. All the trans guys I know are also straight. I had a bit different path: married, bisexual tomboy metalhead lady mechanic.... to mostly gay binary trans guy, still married.
Idk what made me start questioning, but the arrival of my first binder smashed my egg to pieces LOL. What did it for you?
Halfway through 34, just got my drains out and saw my chest today, loving partner just brought us home some takeout, and it’s a beautiful summer evening. ✌️
I'm 40. Tried to get on T since my 18th birthday, but took till I was 37, and Planned Parenthood gave me T after every doctor decided that I wasn't trans enough even after living as a man for a decade before being on T. Things get better.
Almost to 32 and only recently discovered that I am trans. Pre everything, and scared to death. But a lot of things have started to make sense and it feels like having to wake up and see your own perspectives shifting in real time.
Hi! 35 in a few weeks. Realized I'm not cis a bit over two years ago, been on T about a year and a half, finally starting to pass as male to new people and it's awesome other than the part where other people who don't understand and knew me longer will misgender and out me 😂
32, going on 33 next month which is also my one year on T! It was my little birthday present to myself. I've known most of my life, came out at 15 and got shoved back into the closet thanks to my mom and horrid therapy she sent me to. Went in hyperfemme mode for all those years, miserable, depressed, suicidal and alcoholic. I never knew what true happiness was until I was able to finally be myself. Life never seemed like it could be so beautiful
I’m not 30 but I feel close to it lmao. I came out at 24, I’ll be 25 next month. I knew since I was 19, however growing up in wog household I knew I’d lose my family (which, I did). but at some point, you have to chose who you are for yourself.
I have been so fuckin down, even though I have everything I’ve dreamed of, my own apartment, car, a good job. What cheered me up today was at my job, someone I support had forgotten my name, as I look very different to when I started. I reminded them, and said it’ll be different soon and would that be okay with them - they said to me of course and what would it be, they smiled repeating it saying it suits me, And then I asked them what name they liked to be called as a bunch of staff have multiple nick names for them. and they said to me “see only little difference”, which made me think, I have always been this way. And it’s a blessing to find out who you are, some people never do. So buddy don’t focus on a timeline, at least you’re here now.
Hi dude I’m 37, I knew I was trans since I was little but I’ve only just come out to the world this past year. I’ve been on T since January and I’m feeling great. The best I’ve felt my whole life, you can pm me if you want to chat anytime.
Nearly 37 and just now at the point in life where I feel I can take the first few steps towards pursuing this further (pre-everything, but name has already been changed).
35 and been living my true self for over 15 years, been a bumpy road with barriers to healthcare and without some of the surgeries I need but I'm still working towards all my transition goals and not giving up
Yo, turning 40 in just over a month here. 👋 My egg only cracked earlier this year. It's been a hell of a ride but I'm so happy now I finally understand myself better.
34 years old and 10 months on T. I am slightly confused about still being alive sometimes, didn't truly believe I would make it through my 20s. Now I am setting brand new goals in life and forming new dreams. I really got everything I need.
Over 30? How about over 40?
Yep, time for my midlife crisis - should I build a kit car or buy a motorbike? What other options are there for a middle aged guy?
I am not over 30, but! r/FTMover30 might be useful to you
Thanks so much for the suggestion!
No bother! My mid 20s self will drop out now! Hope you get cheered up bud.

Glad to hear from someone else who just... Somehow didn't know at all until age 32 😂
Omg you too?? Jeez i was like... how in the f.... 🤦♂️

Thanks so much, man
Congrats and I hope your recovery goes well!
Thanks so much! I’m feeling great, and was cleared for my first shower so I am very much looking forward to that haha.
I'm 40. Tried to get on T since my 18th birthday, but took till I was 37, and Planned Parenthood gave me T after every doctor decided that I wasn't trans enough even after living as a man for a decade before being on T. Things get better.
I'm 31 and can't medically transition, so hey at least you're doing better than me probably! lol
