At the ripe old age of 30 with an entire 3 years of full-time transition behind me, I'm currently on my 4th transfem I am personally helping in person embrace their/her femininity or take the plunge on some aspect of transition.

Functionally, I am a trans elder for these girlies, but I feel about as mature for it as a minimum wage worker who got promoted to shift captain on their 2nd week coz the last one quit. looks around in disbelief "surely I'm not the authority figure here, right? right??"

I really love making these connections with trans people, because I love seeing their eyes light up when they feel understood about something or experience some aspect of euphoria for the first time.

On the other hand, it points out how lonely it was for me. I had no one IRL. I had supportive friends - who meant a lot - but no one anywhere close to being transfem themselves. I knew it wasn't actually the case, but for how little the people in my life understood what I was doing, I might as well have invented trans womanhood.

I'm glad I can help these girls learn about makeup or the effects of HRT on sexuality or learning to feel confident about being subby in bed or what transfem basics have you, so they don't feel as alone as I did. But did I have to be so alone?

I guess I'll just be grateful I made it through.

@Tessa I am much older than you and I recently realized that T4T just get harder as you grow older as there is less of us the older you get. Less of us survived, came out or transitioned. It is socially isolating.
