Many, many years ago, another trans-woman once told me that our psychological ages, as transwomen, differ from our physical ages due to not having lived as our gender during a significant time in our youth. She suggested that our "new age" can be determined by taking the age at which we went full time and dividing it by two (rounding down). Then add all the years after going full time.
(This tends to work well for those over 30, but if you are under 24, it's quite skewed.)
In my case, I transitioned at 33. Dividing in half and rounding down is 16. Add the 5 years since then, and I'm 21.
Hey, I'm legal!!!
...but I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up.
