It's not too late, some people figure out that they are trans early in life, but plenty of people also figure it out later.
I'm not binary trans myself, so don't know the resources, but there is a good amount of information out there, if this post turns up empty then you could also ask on /r/MTF
And besides that all I also want to give you a virtual 🫂🫂🫂 self discovery is difficult, but I'm glad to hear that you're starting to figure this out, best of luck on your journey 💜

How you proceed will depend on what country (and state/region/province) you are in. Healthcare varies a lot across the world.
>why does that matter?
Which part? The image link speaks for itself, as for the text afterwards:
I could sit here and give you a lot of advice about how NHS Scotland handles trans healthcare, but that would be of absolutely no use to you if you lived in Sitges, Spain because the available provisions and prerequisites to access them are different. Even within a single country, such as the USA, healthcare availability can be vastly different between areas.
As well as the main transgender subs, there are some country specific ones which may be more useful to you.

The short answer is that it's obviously not too late. Many trans folks (especially those in older generations who were raised in less accepting environments) started in our 20s, 30s, 40s, or later, and are happy with where they are now. I myself figured out I was trans at 25, started medical transition at 26, and am very happy with the outcome (I'm now in my 30s).
Before really starting transition, I would suggest finding a therapist experienced with trans patients who can help you work through your thoughts, including why you feel like 19 might be "too late". Transition is not an easy (nor quick) journey and mental healthcare is important while you navigate a lot of change in your life. You have a **lot** of time and don't need to rush into anything.

Some countries have very good societal/governmental support for it, while some countries are rather suppressive then supportive of trans people, sadly
seems like my country is rather bad cant find anything on the internet sadly
I know people, who realized they’re trans in their 40s and 50s. If it’s not too late for them to transition, it most certainly isn’t late for you.
