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

I started my transition five years ago. I’m in my mid-fifties and wish I had done it sooner. I’ve always know I was a woman and now I’m living full time as a female.
I don’t have that problem with my age the thing with me is when n how before I pass away yes I’d like to transition from my male body to feminine gender than don’t have worry bout displaying real female personily
I’m 49 and about to start on HRT very soon, doctors appointment is in 2 weeks and I can’t wait to start my long over due journey

Bonjour.
“vaut mieux tard que jamais”; un proverbe qui signifie beaucoup.
vaut mieux naître en retard, que de ne jamais naître.
Après 40 ans, et quand j’ai été sûr que je ne serai jamais acceptée entant que femme entre les miens; j’ai tout laissé derrière moi, et j’ai refait une nouvelle vie toute seule loin d’eux.
Je viens de naître, et j’en suis très heureuse; je me sens que j’ai l’âge de fleur.
Bravo! So pretty and feminine!
Bravo Zizette, tu as fait ce qu’il faut lorsque l’on réalise que l’on ne pourra pas partager nos besoins intérieurs, mais aussi externes avec les autres. Et comme il s’agit d’une nouvelle vie, il vaut mieux alors trouver sa voie ailleurs et dans une autre situation. Je te souhaite plein succès dans ta démarche et n’oublie pas que tu n’es pas seule. Je vis cela comme toi et j’ai trouvé de nouvelles amitiés qui me portent et me font évoluer. Bises
I have a vague childhood memory, around five years old, of paying close attention to what my mother and aunts wore. But it wasn’t until I was 12 that I discovered my feminine side. Having access to both my mother’s and aunt’s wardrobe, shoes, makeup peaked my curiosity of all things feminine. When I was found out by my parents at 14, I stopped my exploration until I left home at 24 and came upon a publication called Female Mimics International. The magazine was a revelation. I was not alone. I picked up where I had left off ten years earlier only this time with financial resources and endless visits to San Francisco’s Union Square by day and the transgender clubs by night I acquired an education that continues to this day. It’s been a wonderful 20 years filled with positive experiences and lovely people. To answer your question Lucille; No I don’t think anyone is ever too old to cross dress transition.
We may strive to be “beauty queens” but what we actually want to be is female and that in itself is a beautiful thing.
I honestly thought for a long time that I was too old, the damage was done and could not be undone. I felt trapped and stressed, which for the most part I tried to ignore in order to remain positive and happy with some sort of future ahead.
When my girlfriend who I was planning to marry completely rejected me in a moment of shock and horror when she found out I felt that I had no future left. I was 40 and tired. The only way forward I thought at that time was to transition so that if I should ever fall in love again there’d be no awful surprises life that in store for them. It was that or die, and dying wasn’t an option! I felt so angry and determined!
I turn 43 this year. Before picture is November 2014, after picture is a month ago. Never too old! I now have a new girlfriend who I met a year ago and she’s awesome! And I’m so happy!!!
Just thought I’d share to encourage others x
You look great just would like to get a little personal if I may,are you taking any hormones that you would like to share just want to make the right decision to get that soft and feminine look.
I was 55 before I was first able to express my femme self due to family,
and the day I went full time I never looked back. Now at 65 I am hoping to be able to finish my journey.
