I would say that most are written by people who are also still transitioning and possibly younger so lots of stuff does not apply to older folks (or even younger or anyone at all) . I don't read those unless plot is something else but at least people have material and it might help them with various awareness.

In my experience a lot of the characters tend to be younger too. Like I empathize with AYRT, I'm poor as dirt so sometimes I worry I won't be able to continue my T and I was in a position when I was younger where I couldn't transition, so I get it.

But for a lot of these characters it's just not feasible for them to be post top surgery and while I do get the whole binder fetish thing (I hate it personally, that's part of the whole "fetishization" deal). I actually vastly prefer trans fic where the guy is post-top surgery since that's where I am too, but I'm not going to penalize somebody for writing someone like...say, Hinata in my secret, as not having top surgery yet. It happens, but it's much rarer than having to wait.

That is quite true - seen only one older character and I assume most would base things around either private medical system branch or WPATH one which would either need money or time (Scottish gender clinic list was ... a year and a half, then a year of appointments - worth it as our medical system is in taxes hence you do not pay directly).

The top surgeries are rather interesting as seen both extremes same as you mention and usually in teenagers and young adults. Waiting lists for those are long as hell but the price tag if you skip is hefty - I would not be able to afford that if I saved. I do wonder if those with binding fetish are unable to bind - idealised is as a teenager but not particularly fetishy (spine issues).

I guess it is the case of age slash area slash your own personality. Age makes sense as idealism and preconceptions.
