21 is still pretty young! being able to transition at a young age (ie like under 18) is a pretty recent thing. i’ve seen so many trans people online discuss how they transitioned at older ages (wish i could remember usernames but alas) and how satisfied they were with it. you have so much life left to live and you deserve to live it as your truest self

It’s never too late to express or explore yourself. Don’t let age stop you, people come out and discover things at every age

If you think 21 is too late to transition, then at 31 you’ll definitely think it’s too late, and at 41 think it’ll be WAY too late The truth is that it’s never actually too late. The only limitation (besides the healthcare system) is you

21 is very young, please don’t think it’s too late. Many people transition with beautiful results past 40

i've known i'm trans since i was like 13 and i turn 20 this year and have yet to even come out. do everything on your own timeline, it's never too early and never too late.

it's too late when you're dead. an old motto of the trans community was, don't die wondering. being able to transition before 18 is an incredibly recent development, and even transitioning soon after 18 is pretty new. it's worth growing into yourself

as for the second bit, about not liking the result: i also grappled with this before deciding to transition. for me the tipping point was realizing that i ALREADY didn’t like myself, so worst case scenario nothing changes
