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,

I am a trans fluid female, and I am enjoying it also. At 74 I started my transition a little over a year. Still, when I look at my life, a big part of me was always female. I am married, although my wife is very supportive of the female side, she wants the male side also.
Safety is an issue here in Texas as in many other states. I am sure many others share that concern.
I agree whatever age that you see a change in your life, do it.
I have been expressing my inner girl since I was very young. At age 2 my mother let me play with her baby doll and I was her mother. At age 4 I began dressing as a girl and now at almost 70 I dress every day. I love to go out and my wife and I are BBF’s and love to shop and go to the theater and events together. I love to be seen as a grandmother by children when we are out and about.
Starts out as all of us do when yearned to dress in our mother’s lingerie and clothes. The desire never changed all through my married life. When I divorced at 55 I met a lady who said saw saw something different in me and started buying lingerie. Now 72 I have an extensive wardrobe of lingerie and clothes. I am taking medication to enhance my feminine side. I am in a completely different world when I dress, it is like a tranquilliser and I feel so at peace with myself. The woman in me definitely comes out when I dress and gives me an incentive to live at this stage of life. It feels so so so natural to be dressed in lingerie, dresses and make up and to be and feel my real self! Georgina
Reading your comments reminds me so much of my past and current feelinngs I have spoken recently to my doctor about my feelings and he has refered me to a gender clinic I can’t wait for an appointment . I like will be 69 this year and feel so good when I am dressed as a woman I like wearing soft silky lingerie under a pretty dress with nice heels and makeup I just feel so feminine and so happy thank you for reminding me of this.
Yours Jennifer xx.

I am of that long ago generation that knew only one way to be and never, never to ask. It was only around 66-67 when the charade ran out: it was either be me or be nothing. I was fortunate to meet a mentor who literally saved my life and lead me into the light. I am now 8 months old (SRS 8 months ago) and am getting happier and younger every day. Friends, never ever let your age limit! You have only one chance; it is your responsibility to grasp it. Always be real.
as I’ve gotten older– my wife has stressed the need for me to dress age appropriate–never said i’m too old to do this !!!
I have struggled with crossdressing for years ,put it down, purge .Lived as a man raised a family did all the right things. I finally came out to my wife after I retired she has had a hard time with-it but she has stayed with me and still loves me and has tried to support my dressing .I dress as often as I can I am 74 those hours in a dress bring so much joy. Wish I could live as a woman full time its who I am who I and who I want to be.
