@pdcawley @revoluciana That's one of the critical things to note about all of this - just how many people are transitioning later in life. We realize that life is too short to waste time being something we're not.
Shortly before I turned 40, I was at a stoplight thinking about my grandparents. One died in an accident, but one had lived into his 80s, one had lived into her 90s, and one was still living (and IS still living, at 102!). I realized I could potentially live 50 more years.
And the thought of living a half-century more as a guy filled me with absolute horror.
It was still 4 more years before I began transitioning.
So... my message.
Those whose eggs have cracked and still waiting... it's not too late.
Young adults who have gone through puberty, it's not too late.
Parents with families, it's not too late.
Empty nesters, it's not too late.
Retirees, it's not too late.
And as for Lou... rest in power, girl. We're glad you found happiness.
