25-27 also happens to be the age your brain is fully developed. Wacky hormones thanks to puberty tend to settle down, too (I felt the latter really strongly considering I have an endocrine issue that affects my hormones. I could literally feel the change in my mental state at 17, and feel yet another big change at 27.)

Fun fact: This is why I think Marijuana use shouldn't be legal until at least 25 or 27 because it's greatest effects are on the developing brain. Literally dumbs people down over time and slows/blocks aspects of development. And the effects are quite prominent with repeated use, which college-aged students & younger, especially the partiers, tend to do.

Same thing for transgender kids/people who want to get surgery or take hormones to that create permanent changes. Hormones would affect gender disphoria a lot & so you should wait until your system settles itself & susses out its own problems as much as possible before taking drastic measures.
