Age is a popular topic around here and I’m occasionally asked…
“Am I too old to crossdress?” or “Am I too old to transition as a transgender woman?”
My response?
NO, of course not!
Whether you are a so-called mature crossdresser – or an older MTF woman beginning her transition – it is NEVER too late to be your true female self.
I believe that the true desires or your heart are meant to be expressed – no matter how long they’ve been buried.
Is it true that your age may have an impact on hormone therapy or surgery? Yes, that’s possible. But a good doctor will guide you on your best and safest options.
The fact remains that you can transition and/or present yourself as a woman at any point in life.
In fact, embracing your feminine side can give you a whole new lease on life…
I see it all the time: People seem to grow years younger when they make the decision to be themselves fully.
Having the courage to express your true self also inspires others to do the same. The world needs more of this!
In the words of Laverne Cox:
“It is revolutionary for any trans person to choose to be seen and visible in a world that tells us we should not exist.”
I’ll say it again: You are NEVER too old to be your true female self.
So, I encourage you to take that next step and do whatever it is that you’ve been holding back on.
You deserve it. And it’s not too late!
Do you agree that age is just a number?
Now I’d love to hear from YOU on this topic…
How old were you when you decided to fully embrace your female self? (Or are you still waiting?)
Let’s continue the conversation in the comments below!
Love,
Lucille

Although I have dabbled in women’s underclothes in a very limited way over the years, I am now serious and dress as a woman at home. I am over 65 and now live in my own house. I have everything from breast forms, lingerie and daytime wear. I choose to not expand my crossdressing out of the house unless I manage to make contact with other likeminded girls. Then, who knows. I like to keep this separation with my grandchildren from my private activities and having this split makes me happy. Had I not had an extended family, I would have gone full time.
I only wish I had known about the herbs 20 years ago or more.
It’s probably 5 years since I learnt about Lucille’s FLAT 2 FEM
and started the herbs. It’s nice having the 2 bumps on my
chest-would like ‘C’ cup but will have to settle ‘B’ cup.
I say to Kellies comment above, go for the herbs to make the
change while your young, but it’s up to you.
Hello Lucille!
Thank you so much for the information you have sent me! I am 64 and living as a woman full time. My challenge is financial. I find that as I progress into my 60’s my ability to earn money diminishes. I am today impoverished. I have a small Social Security check each month to sustain me and that’s it. I’m trying many different techniques in manifestation but no results. Interestingly, my transition, being strapped for cash, has been somewhat flaky, and this contributes to my financial woes.
Don’t give up Silver, I know what it’s like to battle.
If you can afford the herbs, try them for at least 18 to 24 months & see how you feel.
Wow. A reply. Gosh, I am speechless. I must say I feel pretty good right now. I do take some phyto-estrogens when I can. (Fenugreek, Wild Yam and soy products) I get hormones from the VA (thank you Mr. Obama) and I am at normal female levels and very low testosterone. I am content, albeit poor. For me, I would like to go out. Celebrate something. But that is cash intensive. Thank you for your reply. Wow.

Hi Lucille
For the past nine years of my life I have found something that I love and have a passion for. Yes you guest it crosssdressing when I was born 26 years ago my body didn’t know that I was born with a gift. The days that I get to crossdress are the best days of the week, only because I get to be the true me. Its sucks that I half to live a double life style and lie to friends and family about myself. As I grown up life gets harder and it makes me sad because I know that something is not right with me. Someday yes I will find happiness and get the chance to show the world the true me and not hide it behind close doors. Only time will tell if I transition and become a beautiful women but all I know is the more and more I crossdress the more I think about taking the next step in becoming a girl.
Kelly as I wrote above, if you are serious about
transitioning, start now while you are young.
I wish I had known about the herbs when I was young, now I am in my 60’s.
The herbs have worked, but would work better on
someone younger.
Hi Lucille,
thank you so much for all your advice you share with us! I just wanted to share with you how wonderful it felt to make a concrete step to open up to the woman in me and try to get in touch with women as one of them and just to follow a simple feminine desire in me.
Going home I felt like want to wear a pair of sheer black kneehigh nylons. Just wear them, very discreetly, just slightly visible from under my brown checkered pants, cause I love the look of it! So I entered the drugstore and it was just me and four women attendants in there. I looked around and went to the rack with hosiery despite the fact that the attendants were doing their chores just around the spot. I grabbed my pair of black kneehighs and went to the counter, trying to enjoy it all. And the woman behind the counter reacted just so normally and said nicely to me: “Thank you for your purchase”. Like nothing strange was happening… And I said: “You’re welcome” nicely back to her and even smiled a bit.
Walking out, I was so suprised how realy good I felt. I felt accepted and understood by another woman. I felt like we connected and had a little feminine moment, like women do. After I put the kneehighs on I just enjoyed my walk down the street. What a nice feminine feeling and afternoon 🙂
Love,
Michelle
As one of my favorite quotes states: growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.
I say go for it all, sisters! You have to be comfortable in your own skin no matter what.
That being said, have any of you heard of or used a product called Transfemme? I want to try it and would greatly appreciate any personal experiences.
Interesting topic and comments. I do think there’s a couple of factors involved in the decision to evolve or even transition at a later age. Some are sociological and others are physiological. In terms of how we have progressed as a society with more open attitudes towards differences in sexuality and “gender-uality” (yes, I think I just made up a word for Urban Dictionary), it’s now much easier to express ourselves, regardless of our age, than it was even 10 years ago let alone 30 or 40 years ago when we first began noticing the disconnect between our brain and our body. In general, people are more open and understanding to “que sera sera” or “Viva la difference”!
But, physically there are changes also. Male testosterone levels often begin declining significantly after the age of 40 (which is why Viagra sells billions of them lil blue pills). This opens the door chemically for our bodies to begin to have more in common with and be more accepting of our brains.
Finally, of course. many posting have also been waiting until their kids are grown or a spouse has passed before allowing their secret desires and true identity to be explored and actualized.
Now on the other-hand, I also have alot of gurlfriends who have stopped dressing as their femme selves and going out as they are getting older, simply because when they reached a certain age, they no felt they were pretty enough or felt attractive enough. This is not unlike what alot of GG’s suffer when they stop wearing makeup and dressing sexy. It’s a shame age-ism takes it’s toll on our desire to look and feel beautiful at any age.
