    Yeah there’s no right time for everyone. Have people from different countries, cultures and generations on here with totally different values and experiences.

    Those of us married at that age probably had to take on a lot of other responsibilities by at least age 18 if not earlier. Someone getting blackout drunk definitely is not in the place for marriage.

    I don’t look at marriage in that way. I don’t see anyone at any age as a permanent person. We are all changing constantly.

    I see it more as you make a commitment to eachother to see eachother through life, whatever it brings. We made it through a lot of different things such as a near death experience, job losses, disability and sudden moves.

    I don’t feel like I need to be the same person or enjoy the same hobbies. As long as the respect and trust is there I’m good. Everyone is different though and have different needs. For us we value stability since both of us lacked family support growing up.




  • You would be surprised. I know of several trans people who transitioned and had surgery decades ago and don’t tell anyone. Not even therapists or close friends. If you didn’t know them before or have an important specific reason it needs to be known it just never comes up.

    That was the goal for a lot of people until recent times. Even now there are still a ton of people who just do it and want to move on with their lives forgetting about it like an old medical issue they resolved.

    You are mostly going to notice people who are early on or very open about it. One of the reasons that trans healthcare at a younger age is important is because it makes it much easier to blend in with society the rest of their lives. Blocking this care is going to make trans people more visible than if they weren’t forced to go through an unwanted puberty.

    Another thing is that a lot of people who have transitioned don’t care about stuff like makeup or clothes. It’s about identity and physical body features. That stuff comes secondary and early on is often explored more because it’s new and can be validating. It’s also not about orientation either, there are people who transitioned MTF living lives as lesbians and people FTM lived as gay couples. You yourself are an example of how the clothes you like to wear is unrelated to your gender identity.

    This guy, my first impression of him made me think of a Star Trek alien. Surprised he won over Dr. Oz but figured people wanted someone left leaning. Then he was out on leave for depression, then speeding, drinking and driving. Had a stroke.

    He really did not seem mentally or physically stable even if he was a Democrat and seemed like he needed to resign. Now I find out he has decided to become a Republican. Makes sense.
