Well,

I supose everyone is different. I was about the same age, maybe a few years younger. I have sketchy memories about it all. It felt like, for years, there was something I was avoiding, i knew I had these feelings and thoughts and they felt seperate, but more than that. I just wouldnt look at any of it. I then went into T and even then it took about 1 year for me to admit that i had different people in me.

What im saying is, in answer to your question, Yes, you can be that age and only just realise what is going on. It was the same for me. But when i finally did acknowledge what was happening and who I had inside it didnt feel like a shock, it felt a bit like coming home. Sorta waking up to myself. I had always sorta known that something very different was going on for me.
