John 50
Common /tttt/ slang, "John 50" (or "John, 50") is a term for trans women (MtFs) who transition late in life (lateshits and oldshits), particularly those who repress using any means they can think of before eventually caving as they realize they have to transition or they will either commit suicide because of or effectively become disabled by their gender dysphoria.
The original "John 50" was described in a paper entitled "Implications of Being Gender Dysphoric: A Developmental Review" by Anne Vitale, published in Gender and Psychoanalysis, An Interdisciplinary Journal, Vol. 6 No. 2, Spring 2001, and the term has become a shorthand for individuals who have had similar experiences and as a warning for repressors: how they might turn out as a direct result of their continued denial of their transness and/or staunch refusal to transition, especially for those who are in a position where transitioning is socially, legally, and financially feasible.
Thankfully, the original "John 50" has a happy ending, which makes the term two-pronged: a warning of what might happen if you do not transition, and how things could end if you do.
"Jane 50" and "Jane, 50" are the trans man/FtM equivalents to "John 50", though they receive significantly less usage among the denizens of /tttt/.

This picture has some serious John 50 energy.
Have you heard of John 50? It's not a tale that the trenders would tell you. Legend has it, there was a repper who, on a quest for infinite repression, discovered a way to repress life itself...
I wonder how many straight trans girls will have their husbands go John, 50 on them later in life.
Some people never get to be whole, or are happy in their John 50 rapehon life or Jane 50 pooner butch life. Being trans is pain, and every single person copes in a different way. Some do it by just telling no one and shouldering it until they die. Others break in their 60s.
Silly midshit, you're supposed to troon at 5 and get your parents to pay for everything, or at 45 with all the money you got from a male-passing paycheck and the emotional support of your wife and 3 kids (she pressured you into the last two because your dysphoria-induced panic attacks from the first pregnancy weren't enough for her) but you still get to be 5 years ahead of John 50!
