A boy in my history class gave me the timeline of his transition once.

When he was eight, he was professionally diagnosed with gender dysphoria for the first time.
When I was eight, I was excusing myself from recess because I couldn't watch everyone and debate and denounce my thoughts about my gender anymore. I was crying about it alone and confused in the bathroom.

When he was eleven he started testosterone for the first time.
When I was eleven I was regularly having panic/anxiety attacks because I started getting regular periods. I had to hide it from my mom every month or she'd drunkenly scream out to the entire house that I was "ragging".

Three weeks ago, he got top surgery.
Three days ago, I finally got a proper dress shirt and blazer.

I'm jealous of him.

I'm sad for my past self.

I'm happy with my current self.

I'm bitter over the wasted years.
