When we say it's never to late, we want to stop the rumor that you need to transition at 17 or 16 or any of your early teen years in order to ever fully transition or be happy. That's where we lose so many transgender youth.

I was seventeen when I discovered I was trans. And for awhile I thought that it was too late for me and that I'd have to live the rest of my life as a cis woman and that I'd never be the person I wanted to be. I'd be stuck with wide hips, narrow shoulders, a high annoying voice, and everything else estrogen ever cursed me with. I was ready to give up. I was ready to do the same that Leelah did. But then I met and saw so many people who transitioned at 25, or 34, or 43, and it gave me hope.
