Ah, but Kaz, you didn't offend, nor did you take offense. And it's not about categories - its about age and transition. What i can read into your response, Sandra's, and Lorileah's is that age is one of many considerations - a complicating factor - when thinking of transition when you don't need to transition. But for those to whom transition is urgent, it is irrelevant. That's not as tautological as it sounds. Rather, it's an expression of identity urgency in the sense recognized in the medical literature.
