I totally understand where you are coming from. I think we are at different points of our journey and just have a different perspective on it. A few years ago I probably felt a lot more like you do now.
For me that meant being in constant conflict with my own body though and feeling like if I had just transitioned earlier I could have accepted myself. And I think that I always thought that accepting my body was always just going to work by me transitioning and getting a completely different body. Nowadays I'm much more OK with me not changing my body but trying to accept it with its flaws and its ambiguity.
It's a little different for me. I transitioned 9 years ago, and I largely resolved my struggles with dysphoria.
What still gets me a little though is the life I didn't get to live at a younger age.
And if my transition happened "when it was meant to", that means that life was never mine even in an ideal world.
So I frame my own journey as having transitioned when I could rather than when I should. I didn't get all of the opportunities I wish I could have, but I'm absolutely grabbing the opportunities I can now!
