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

It’s never too late to be who you want to be. I’m 67 now and get out in public as much as I can, the response is amazing. Once you overcome the fear in your own mind a whole new world opens for you.
I knew I was different when I was very young but then there was little I could do. I established a life as a male and hid my true self. But as I got older the feelings got stronger and I started going out as a female. As I neared retirement I started with therapist and was diagnosed with gender dysphoria and went on to start hormone therapy when I was 61. Just before I retired I Samantha and had my gender changed to female on my drivers license. I have now retired and work part time at Wal-mart as a woman and truly love my life.
been crossdressing since I was very young I’m 65 now still having fun being a lady and always will for all my life. That is how I relax and enjoy life nothing feels beter to me than wearing female attire. Love all the stories from you other gals too keep it up
My life was a total train crash because I did not know that I was trans. Back in 2011 I got the internet and that was when, at the age of 61, I discovered that I was in fact female. I grabbed it with both hands and now live full time as a woman. I wiil be 68 in September and I hope to have GCS around that time. I am so very happy.
Definitely no, i have known since i was 12 that i was on the wrong side, it took me till 55 to have the courage to do anything about it, i have just turned 56 and am 53 days from my GRS and can’t wait, since making the decision to transition i can’t believe the difference it has made to my life, people are telling me i look 10 years younger, for some reason my hair which was 90% grey has now half reverted back to blonde, i have much more energy, my weight is perfect and i have to keep telling myself that it’s real, while i don’t regret leaving it this long in some ways as ive had a wonderful career which probably wouldn’t have been as successful as a female i do wonder what it would have been like if I’d transitioned earlier but its never too late! The world is a different place to what it was even 20 years ago, i have had some of the most amazing experiences explaining my journey to people, sadly my family and my wonderful partners family have not been altogether positive to me but hopefully will get there! Roll on may 30th!

My name is Wayne and I have no memories of being a human that did not include feeling like a female in a male body. I am now 68 going on 28 and have no intentions of ever growing up! About three months ago, I decided to go for the HRT method and just to be ‘myself’. I figured that if I worked hard enough, I could pass.
Long story short, after only three doses, I had a light stroke, and it kicked my butt ! It does not take a brain surgeon to figure out that further pursuit of HRT was not going to happen. Estrogen is known to cause blood clots sometimes and I was one of the unlucky ones.
I am deeply spiritual, but have little use for religion. In the midst of the stroke, I was out of my body and reaching out to the Universe (God) about this whole thing (as I have a million times) and I suddenly knew that this whole Gender thing was because my dear Mother wanted a daughter and I was NOT that. A child will do almost anything to please their parents and especially to be loved. And that is just what I had been doing my whole life.
WOW! Talk about a game changer!!!! So I no longer feel as if I am a female trapped in a male body. That is simply gone. However, I find that I still very much enjoy wearing female attire! Bottom line is simply that I am an androgynous person.. male and female in the same body. And I am OK with it…. what freedom I have found !!!!!!!!!!!! If I can be of any assistance to anyone regarding any of these issues, please feel free to email me. wayne@ballc.biz
Thanks to Lucille for being the awesome person that she is and thanks to all of you for being that authentic persons that you are!
Hi Lucille, at age 59, last July,2016, I had strong, powerful urges to dress in women’s underwear I have been a CD for nearly 8 months now. (I wish that it was a lot earlier) I crossdress on a daily basis. I wear women’s panties & shapewear briefs to work. *No more chafing, with wearing men’s underwear, due to a hot workplace, factory).When I get home, I put on a seamfree bra, to hold breast-forms in place then a wirefree bra (gives a rounded breast look) and a dress and pantyhose. I feel comfortable wearing women’s clothes. Gives me a de-stressing effect. In recent times I have purchased a variety of nighties, different styles of briefs, (hi cut,bikini, and full brief). I’m not intending to do surgery, I’m happy dressing up at home. My recent purchase (in store) was a bottle of Gloria Vanderbilt perfume, a soft feminine fragrance.
My reply to the age question is no nevr too old. I am 84 just a few days away from 85. I do feel my age I think is some where around 60. If you enjoy do it. As for me is who I am. Am not old am “mature” and plan on another 1 years or so.
Enjoy Darling
