Hi,
Just curious because when I was 19, I left home and tried to live as a woman. I looked like a girl, and some said I acted like one. I never had surgery, but now I'm fifty, I'd change my sex in a heartbeat. But back then, I was so unsure of myself, and after a while I got married and had children.
I think that I always wanted to be a female!

Re: What age group are most transexuals?
Reagarding what age group we are in, well, we are born transsexual and stay that way. Some feel that after surgery and living as a woman, we are no longer transsexual, but the answer to the question is that there are transsexuals of all ages.
I am sad to learn that you did not succeed when you first tried to live as a woman. It was difficult to do then. I am a few years younger than you are, and I too tried to live full time as a woman at age 21. I failed, and was even turned down for surgery because I had "big hands and feet." I eventually transitioned back to living as some kind of a guy for years, not having surgery until age 42.
If I did it, so you can, too. Our circumstances seem similar.
I hope that you succeed.
Hugs,
Kelly

Does "male-to-neuter/androgynous" (as opposed to "male-to-female") count as "transsexual"?
I'm 21, and have wanted to purge my male secondary sexual characteristics ever since they started manifesting at puberty. How long it will be before I actually succeed is another question.

The only transexual I knew was in her late 30's or early 40's before the reassignment surgery. That was six or seven years ago.

Hi,
BullKelly is right, we are born transsexuals. I believe you ment at what age does one transition? Most will transition in their 40's, but I bet if you asked any older transsexual they will tell you they wished to have done it sooner in life. Many of us go through life being unsure if we really are transsexual or not. And when we finally accept the fact that we are, it's ususally a case of wishing we had done it sooner in life. I can tell you it was like that for me. There come a point in one's life that they can no longer live a lie and that is the time to accept the facts. Each one of us is different and transition at a time when we feel we can no longer live as we are. I've heard all kinds of ages that people transition, some as early as 13, and others transitioned in their 70's. You will know when the time is right, when you can no longer go on the way it is now.
To transition is not an easy thing to do and takes a lot of commitment. Like castration, the physical changes in transitioning cannot be undone. You must be absolutely sure this is the right thing to do before any irriversable steps are taken. Although if it is the right thing to do, you will find it a most wonderous experience.
