Speaking for myself, I'd still be uncomfortable enough in my body that I would be attempting to change it. But if I had that kind of acceptance when I was a teenager, maybe I would have changed my body before testosterone had fucked it up so much. Your body makes a lot of changes in that 11-19 range and trans people who start the hormonal aspect of transtion in that window often wind up looking a lot better for it.
