Indeed! Many gay people like me write about missing the normal rites and pleasures of adolescence, like dating, falling in love without judgment or pressure, etc. In fact, Jamie Nelson wrote a story for Prism & Pen just yesterday about how he once felt like a "middle aged teenager." And how his real adolescence was something like on hold until he was in his 20s.

Of course, the specific issues among cisgender gay people and transgender people are different. But there are some parallels.

Worth mentioning!
