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,

My experiences over the years resemble Merans story of divorce and lost relationships,and due to not being true to myself and others,Leslies comment is close to my sharade if have been playing for the last 50 plus years.Acting overly manly,dressing in ways that would throw anybody off that dreaded day i would be exposed as a crossdresser.Some know my desires to be feminine,same ones have distanced themselves from me.Such a extreme difference of what they knew me as, a tough rough tattooed biker type.To much for most to understand what i should be like ,if i was to be true to myself what i want to be like i should of been since before reaching puberty.I have suffered with my desire to be feminine ever since.Still am.My biggest fear now is being discovered by my kids& Grandkids.I feel ive decieved them,thus rejected and deprived of their special love we have.Im aware that this comment was meant to be about being to old to come out as what i should be seen by others,but cant find within so far to just be truly me.I fear so many losses that are vital to survive.Am i just a scared little girl that fears total rejection
I started wearing my sister’s panties when I was 11-12, now 62. Got married, my ex went along for 10 years. Now divorced, I’m finding it hard to find another lady who understands. Met a lady who embraced it for a while. We used to go shopping together, buying identical clothes. But got freaked when I bought bigger bras and forms to fill them out. She’s been gone 5 years, and since then have been buying so many female clothes, I can’t fit all in my 3 closets and 2 extra dressers.
I’m not going to do any surgery, try to pass, but just enjoy dressing, wishing I was a girl. I am using the Fem program to grow my breasts, so one day I will have to wear a bra.

I just had my 65th birthday yesterday and girls, I’m still rockin it. I might get out once or twice a month, but I try to present the woman inside me the best as I can. A number of real women have been impressed with the way I look. I am no beauty queen nor drag queen nor queen of anything. For me, the clock is ticking. My youth is gone and can never be recaptured. Antoinette is going out there to be herself and look and be as awesome as she can be. When she can no longer do that, her tears will fill a small gymnasium. Go for it girls. It is up to you to present that living woman inside you!
I am in my middle 40s, dress part time, I have been dressing up from age 5, would like to be full-time but it will not work with the job I have, but if you are feeling like this is what you want you have to go for it now matter what you’re age.
Lucille i just adore you. Simply put knowing you are there, regardless of ever the posibilty of knowing you beyond your site is like knowing there are real and supportive family members who love you with no reservations. God i hope to make this journey with strength, confidence and no regret in great part to you my love. May GOD continue to bless you and yours. Huggers Nikk’s
I was a late starter in my transition, because of family. But I am in my 70’s and am enjoying being a woman. I go out shopping, run errands, see a movie, dine, and go to concerts, all en femme. I am happier now then ever in my life.

Yes, age is just a number. But I have a beef with many crossdressers who dress 20-30 years older than their actual age. I’ll bet they love wearing ‘granny panties’ too! Stop in insanity! Be who you want to be, but stay as young as you can. You don’t have to dress like a teenage hooker to look great, dress your age style and embrace it.
I had been a CD since I was about 10, ‘borrowing’ my older sister’s things and enjoying them briefly. Just before she married at 18, her and I were identical in clothing (and shoe) size. I had worn every bit of her clothes at least once, some things very repeatedly. Unfortunately, my family would have thrown me to the streets if they had found out. My sister may have murdered me! I wanted to be like her, dress like her; she was a beautiful girl. The most ridicule I got from her was calling me a ‘pervert’, which I think is because she caught me watching her undress. I was only jealous of the things she wore. I got married young and my 1st ex flipped out when I tried to explain my desires to crossdress, which led to getting divorced. My 2nd ex embraced it for a while, fully supportive as long as I kept it at home, in our privacy. That wasn’t enough for me, I felt like I was still hiding, in prison as it were, not able to fully express myself. Years later, we divorced too for that reason. Once on my own, I decided to give up a male persona and live as I wanted. I have not turned back since. But it wasn’t until a few years ago that I was informed of my Veteran’s medical benefits which included and limited to HRT. I decided years ago I wanted to transition completely, I just needed to take the initial steps. I am loving my life as best I can.
Yes my gender therapist told me about the VA benefit with hormones included my girlfriend who is also a veteran plan to make a visit to the VIA soon… with our letter in hand. We are looking very forward to that.
I must say I wish I could look as good as you darling.
