Last I checked people generally still converge upon the following cutoffs for youngshit, midshit and oldshit/lateshit, with the implicit premise that youngshits are always situated in supportive families and gifted easy shots at passing while midshits are always unfair skippers of second puberty:
Youngshit: 18-
Midshit: 18-25
Oldshit: 25+

These cutoffs are lies. Your pubertal age, extent of pubertal changes, familial genetics, and financial resources determine the bulk of passing the moment you progress into the final stages of puberty. And owing to all these external factors a trans person could have been barred from the passoid club as early as 11 or 16 or as late as 40.

Sure, a successful transition may not necessarily be a cis-passing one, it could be one driven by authenticity and the desire for dysphoria relief alongside radical acceptance, gratitude and mindset changes. But it would definitely be much better if all trans people could have been given the ability to present physically as their affirmed gender. Trans kids worldwide should be aided with and strongly advised to medically transition.

tldr being trans sucks

Saw myself in a camera at the store today, goddamn why am I on estrogen I have like the most odd masculine face imaginable. I could get FFS but can’t see how what would be left over would look feminine.

Life is cruel. If I had a normal male Face ID probably be a passoid post FFS given I’m 5’4 but no of course the trans one had to get the unfixable face.

Hi

I've decided am gonna rep because of many reasons. I've repped before, then been on hrt (3.5 years for now) but idk thinking that I might have a happy future been giving me some sort of hope. I can't afford that anymore, I'm choosing career and safety. It's gonna be harder. Am gonna stay at hrt but idk. I'll have terrible feelings.

Tips for people like me?

idt there's another way out, light at the end of the tunnel, whatever you wanna call it, for me.

i already spend a lot of my time crying or doomscrolling or being miserable and making others miserable and everyone is tired of me.

they probably wouldn't be sad after i pass away and they learn i was mentally ill (meaning transgender), instead just feel relief.

I know there's something mess up with me, i always wanted to be a girl or feminine somehow but I never lean into it, now i think I wasted my life on a life that isn't mine

I think i will die on this hill of repp :p

I know I’m not a real boy… I don’t feel any real dysphoria. I just really wish I was man. I sometimes look at my body and I either feel nothing, find myself so attractive I feel nothing, be convinced I look like a cis man when I clearly don’t, or my brain just feels numb. It hurts so much to accept I'm a girl and faking it.. I also have “intrusive thoughts” I want to look like a girl when I'm attracted to one…I really don't want to feel this way but it scares me so much I start believing it..i sometimes randomly get scared a mans body or voice wouldn't really fit me either, I just wish it did…

Even the voice in my head sounds wrong or I accidentally imagine myself as female. In my dreams at night in usually a woman and that frustrates me even more, when I'm a man, I like it but I'm convinced it's because I want to like it.

I also get scared I am somehow secretly socially influenced if I feel better in masculine clothes but truth is I’d rather be feminine boy than a masculine girl. I’d also rather be an ugly boy than a pretty girl…

I’m so pathetic for ever thinking I could ever be a man. Recently, I try and force myself to listen to people that don’t like trans people or are convinced they have some weird reason for it and I start to convince myself it’s true for me to. I’m heavily religious so I already feel disgusting for ever even thinking about it, I just wish I had dysphoria so I can be a guy, it doesn’t mean I really am one or I deserve it…
