Started questioning a few years ago in my early 30s. In my small hometown, gender norms are heavily ingrained and body dysphoria just isn't a thing that people talked about.
I've never liked looking at myself in a mirror. As a kid I would play with and put on my grandma's jewelry until my family started making fun of me. I had a major obsession with any video game where you could be a girl.
If I had known earlier and transitioned, I probably would've been so much happier. But doing it now would just complicate too many things.
