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!

I totally agree with the statement that one is never too old to express ones’ feminine side. I will turn 67 in September and have always said that ‘age is a state of mind.’ I had been secretly cross dressing since I was 34 and wanting to be a female since I was 4. I retired at age 58 and have been dressing up every day. I don’t consider myself passable so I don’t go out completely dressed as a woman but always wear a little make up. Regardless of your age, if you yearn to be the woman within, I say do it as soon as possible. Life is to short…and you deserve it.
Lynda, you are a smart looking woman for your age.
What’s ya secret?
Lots of sunscreen! Moisturizer every night and pressure points on face.
Absolutely YES! It is never to late! I started at the age of 54. I only regret that I had not started at a much younger age. I am 58 now with dreams of being a fulltime Shemale! please forgive the term! I know some find it offensive! But that is what I desire to be in acurate terms.
Huggs to you all.

I didn’t discover the truth about myself until I was 62. I turned 68 last week and I’ve been transitioning for almost five years and living full time for almost three years. It just keeps getting better and better. Too late? NEVER!
Sometimes I look in the mirror and say r u crazy but when I get it right and go to club to dance I feel like Im 29 mmmm
hi wish i could of done it when i first knew…at as young as i can remember…back than most said i would grow out of it…or that god made you the way he wanted….and than some would of said if it was a possibility back then that i could not be aloud to make a life changing discussion…for some that might be right but here i stand some 40+ years later with the same wish….looking at things its all ways the hardest to do when your doing it…it would of been hard at that age as well as it will be at this age.the biggest thing i run into now is,,is it worth the money spent for what time i my have left.so for the rest of people i would say if you have known i mean really know inside your self that you should of been the other gender and not that you just like to dress up or you thank you might be…..just jump ship now and do it sure it will be the hardest thing you have ever done…the other hand hold the hardest thing to live with regret
I definitely think no one is too old to start but i also think no one should wait because they feel uncomfortable about it with their family or friends and i think sometimes that’s why a lot of people wait so long as well. i know i wanted to when i was 19 but was afraid of how family and friends would react, finally about 2 years ago i decided to go for it, i came out to my mother and stepfather and half sister who all were discouraging about it, my mother in fact said she wasnt comfortable with it and said she wanted me to wait until i was 32 and had more life experience and that she might be more comfortable with it then. which i felt very discouraged by but i realize and said, “mom i know you may not be comfortable with my decision but i am, and if you wanted to make a decision that majorly effected your life and asked you to wait until i was comfortable with it how might you feel, that is how this makes me feel, i am wanting to do something for me that will make me happier, please don’t ask me to put my life on hold for you.” than we went into a long talk about all the processes to convince her that this is truly what i wanted and that with how intense the process is that i would have plenty of time to figure out if i was wrong, she still didn’t like it but told me to be who i feel i am meant to be. i finally started on hrt 55 days ago today and still haven’t even felt like looking back on my choices because they have all felt like they have led me in the right direction of who i am supposed to be.
Very proud of you hon!
oh and i am now 26 years old
True. There is never a “TOO OLD an AGE” for transitioning. I started when I was 23 years old and now I am 25 and happy. I have a career. I have seen a lot of women transitioning in their teens and I used to regret my decision of not going sooner. But, you know, everything happens for the best.
I am now 45 but pass for 30 something easy. I only came out a year ago and wish I had been brave enough to do it sooner.
I recommend to any girl go for it before you regret never trying. The world will not judge you but in most cases it will accept you.
We are our own worst enemy. Get past the fear, it is so wkrth it!!!
Know the feeling dear
Your a very nice look lady.
