12-15 i started questioning but thought eventually i would grow out of it. after 15 i was sure i was trans but i knew my parents wouldn’t be supportive so i didn’t actually start hrt until right before i turned 22.

    I didn’t rly have a phase where I repped internally, for me it was just like “oh.”

    Did hide it from my parents from like 12-15ish tho cause I was scared of getting like kicked out or killed or something lol

    I started looking for what was wrong when I was like 10. Picked up the wrong lessons. Suppressed til like 15 while hoping really hot showers would help. Talked to guardians bad idea. Don’t understand hrt at this point, only know about crazy expensive surgeries that I’ll never afford. hard rep til I can. Refuse to learn shit til 20s. Start hitting but stop in a year because too late x fake Trans. John30 anyways. Still fake.
    And stupid.

        Repping is dumb.

        Doing weekly stabs now.

        Never rep.

    I “repped” for a few months when I was 12. (I just said I was nonbinary) I’ve known I was a boy for the majority of my life. I’ve had the same name for most of it too. My family just wasn’t supportive

  • don’t remember fully… but when i was in preschool i started crossdressing… i really liked when my big sister helped me and made me happy like this… i became extremely dysphoric basically when i was in elementary school maybe second-grade and third-grade then i told my parents i was trans and they beat me up calling me a fag lolll… i was always bullied and beaten for expressing femminely and doing ““women things”” tbhon :(((((((( !!! femboycoped a little in pubblic but was a bit openly trans and couldn’t transition… ( i didn’t understand stuff that much) tried diy at 13 knew diy existed at 12… went to many psychologists all my life trying to ““cure it with therapy”” loll and then my parents force detrooned me all the time they saw my pills or vials so i stopped many times and trooning wouldn’t last much more than a month in between many months of detrooning but never fully repped instead enbycoped/femboycoped in pubblic… girlmoded even many times hiding it from my parents during middle-school!!! ( but boymoded 80% of the time) and tried shaving/makeup/nails almost everyday from 10-18!!! ( now i’m a full boymoder coz raped by puberty) at 18 i went to a gender specific clinic to get legal hrt that my parents couldn’t legally steal and in secret, but didn’t move out till 19 and started transitioning seriously with DIY still ((( cause long waitlist and psyopping doctors ))) btw TCDTCDTCDTCDTCDTCDTCD!!! FUCK MY STUPID MIDSHIT LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN A GIGAYOUNGSHIT!!!

        My warning sign was how gorilla large my dad, uncle and brother were. Their height, their rib cage, their foot size. A daily reminder of what I would become if I didn’t do something fast

      i think if i found 4tran eqrlier i would’ve learned about diy and started a few years earlier at least. instead i found the mainstream subs and susan’s place which was good repfuel

        you probably do. it was revelatory for me when i saw on the survey that the average time repping was like 2 years. sometimes i feel like nobody here gets just how much brain damage hardrepping can give you.

    I started wondering if i was trans at 23 (I knew something was wrong with me way before that, but I couldn’t figure it out earlier because I love living in a MENA country with no info on trans people). Ended up repping for 5 more years anyway due to a mix of being scared, not knowing exactly what HRT does, and thinking these feelings will eventually go away.

    first had gender thoughts at 9, ‘crossdressed’ at 15 (since I didnt know any better), Got introduced to trans people at 16 (but i wasnt one of those freaks), at 17 I ran into the board which caused me to rep more, at 18 I knew I was trans but didnt wannt start. By 20 I started. So maybe about 3 years of repping
