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

hi I have dressed as a woman for around 20 years off and on but only when no one is around have thrown out so much when I have met a lady but returned after we split up but now I am happy within myself I am 72 but don’t feel that over the last 3 months I have gone out shopping dressed as a woman even had a make up done instore and you know I feel very comfortable first it was very nerve racking but the more you do it the easier it comes I have met quite a few lovely ladies who chat very openly with me
After years of shame and self-denial I just told my wife of 27yrs my feelings about always having wanted to be a woman (3 days ago). She was wonderful and supportive of me and though surprised, not shocked – that she could see how that makes sense. I think I’m still somewhat in shock, scared. Honestly I’ve never been this brave before, and I’m a little terrified.
Hi Lucille honey and hi to all you other lucky girls out there too I say lucky because I miss having that special someone to share life with although some of you might not get to share your true self with your spouse for a time I had that pleasure even though she was not herself as she had grown I’ll and then after nearly 6 years passed away a short time after I got really upset that old guilty feeling came roaring back in and stupid me I purged giving almost all my clothes, shoes, and the lot or what I thought was all of it to charity now of course I feel like kicking myself in the teeth as I’ve never gotten much of anything to replace all I had managed to accumulate I have one pair of heels and a few pair of jeans most of which I can’t fit in now and I hardly ever take the time to dress as I have no money for anything no make-up my razors are dull I guess I’m depressed huh! I’m trying to get through this rut I’m stuck in if not for playing guitar I don’t think I’d make it at all at times anyway I’ll stop depressing everyone for now I Love You Lucille and all my other Girlfriend’s here too Love MJ
Hi Ashley
Funny story about “wife suspects”….I do all the laundry and from time to time panties get mixed up…a few nights ago wifely and were getting dressed to go out…I found a pair of panties folded on the bed????? When I picked them up they were size 8 (my size) she takes size 5 or 6…..oops ….she never said a word ….but she knows
LOL, Are you curious about the silence?
Hi Bobby
Well no not really…she caught me years ago with other gurls …she’s just very quiet about my crossdressing
Sometimes you just have to let it out. If you don’t you are cheating yourself.
Thank you Bobbi, as I do feel as if I am cheating myself. I need to go to a gender therapist to sort out these feelings. I stumbled upon a book in a library in the 70s while in college, it was on SRS and I was completely intrigued. I often wonder what I would have done had there been internet back then. Here’s what I don’t understand…I seemed to block it out and lived as a gay man,,,but now that I am in my 60s I don’t feel like a gay man, and I have been almost obessed with watching transition videos on youtube. Is it possible the dysphoria was dormant and it has reared its head late in life…I don’t cross dress or seem that interested in women’s clothes, but feel that I would be if I started hormones,,,when I fantasize, its always me as a woman with a man..this is very telling
I’m 71 y.o. in these pictures & feel as feminine as ever! !
The ladies here all look great & should continue to express their feminine side with pride. ..Enjoy being You! !
