Someone with an age identity that differs from their chronological age.
Transage people can be of any age and are not all younger than their chrono age. Transage people may also fluctuate between ages, be multiple ages or be no specific age.
Common experiences related to being transage include plurality, neurodivergence, trauma, age regression and age dysphoria. Not all transage people experience all or any of these specific things. The only requirement to be transage is to feel a sincere incongruence between your age identity and your chronological age.
Transage is NOT a term used to justify the abuse of children. The term has never been used this way by
real transage people. In fact, many transage children (older to younger) believe they cannot consent, just
like a chrono
child can't.
Transage is not transphobic, it has nothing to do with
transgender, although some transage people also happen to be
transgender. They are two separate identities with their separate dysphorias, and transage people
aren't seeking to be a part of
LGBTQ+.
Transage people just want their identities to be understood and respected. They seek acceptance in living their lives freely as themselves.
I'm transage and I'm 11 years
old, and I suffer from very severe age dysphoria, particularly about my height, shoulders, bone structure, hips, body hair, and voice. If there was a magic button to transform me into a physical 11 year
old I would
press it no matter the consequences or risks involved.
