Does anyone else who started T while underage sometimes feel guilty when talking to older trans guys who haven’t gotten to start yet? Idk why but I feel like an asshole for having the privilege to start young while some people have to wait so fucking long

I feel like an asshole for having the privilege to start T young and even when talking to people who are around my current age. I feel incredibly lucky and grateful but it also hurts knowing that people have to go so long without feeling comfortable in their bodies. Do you mind if I ask when you started T?

As one of the older ones who’s experienced meeting people several years into transition while I’m still trying to get on T: we know you don’t mean harm but admittedly (I, at least) still get jealous

I was a junior in hs, so not crazy young, but now that I’m in college I’ve met a lot of people who didn’t have the same access as I did and yeah it’s a weird mix of emotions. I loved being able to have a fresh start in college because I went in years on T and passing, but meeting people who really wanted that but couldn’t get the same care makes me feel really guilty. I just wish HRT was more accessible all around.

I started at 15, I was ending my freshman year of high school. As I said, I feel so lucky to have been able to start HRT as a teen but like you said, I wish it was much more accessible.
