I am so sorry to post two days in a row without responding to other people's post but I had some questions: How much does it cost for me to transition? To be healthy am I going to want to have a body-fat level like my birth sex or gender? At 17 am I already too late to look feminine? I am not muscly but I have a prominent jawline and brow and am 6 foot 1
I do not know about all costs, therapy is a lot per hour but you don't have to be in therapy forever. Hair removal is a lot but laser is a lot less than electrolysis which is what I had to use. Hormones overall are not that expensive (relative to everything else). Feminization surgeries if you need them can be a lot and the last I heard about vaginoplasty was that it was more than triple what I spent on a house but I only heard that from one person (and I have not had it). For health it does not matter that much which chart you use, keep your BMI in the middle range and you should be ok (20-23). Post hormones your weight will probably be a bit higher than a cis womas because you add the fat but also keep the heavier bone structure (the muscles will slowly reduce though it takes years) I started hormones at 23 and I pass for cis even to medical personnel, however your mileage may vary. I know a number of cis women with strong jawlines. Many models are as tall as you. Granted it might be easier to pass if one is more petite (I am 162cm) but I know a number of passable trans women who are quite tall. Mannerisms and voice count for a lot.
It's never too late to start. I've seen people who are in their 30's when they started and look totally feminine. I also want to say there's no need to apologize for posting without commenting on others yet. If you need help we're here to help.
