For what it's worth, I started at 41, and that was 7 years ago. We tend to start later at our age, because that's what happens when you grew up in the transphobic environment we grew up in, with no visible role models or examples of people who had walked our path before us. Undoing a lifetime of that is a process that takes time. Even self acceptance doesn't just remove decades of indoctrination. What it does is let you make a start on undoing it, which it sounds like you're doing :)

I guess my question is: What is it about being a woman do you love the most?

I finally feel comfortable in my skin :)
