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 re-started dressing again when I was 50, gone out in public after a good makeover at 60 and still feel I blend in ( no rude comments, only compliments) and now soon 75 and enjoying going out; however, I keep an eye to see when/if to stop by taking pics each time and look/ compare with previous. As long as I feel confident and treated as “madam” will continue to enjoy the pleasure of dressing!
i have wanted to try crossdressing but i am a bit apprehensive about doing it because my neighbours saw me in a basque and that is what is putting me off. when i was 13 i tried my mothers clothes on. but i am now 70 years old and feel a bit awkward about doing it
I have been underdressing full time since college and cross dressing when possible since then as well. I am 52 now and began transitioning four months ago. I am not pretty, except for my legs, but I don’t care about that. I have always been a girl/woman on the inside and it’s time to match the outer me with the inner me. I don’t try to look like a twenty something bimbo model. I’m 52. I think the key here is to know what women in their 50’s are wearing and have that as my current wardrobe. Also, the trend now is to get away from hair colorings so I wear a wig, I’m bald, that is not all grey but moving in that direction. No one that is still taking air is too old to be their feminine self. Just be your age in appearance and as young as you want to be in activity.
I play golf and tennis and I do it as JoAnne.
I have cross dressed since I was 13. I did not start going out wearing panties until I was around 30. Now I feel uncomfortable if I am not wearing them. One day I would like to be with a woman who is open minded to this and maybe want me to go out dressed as a female and help pass as one. I am 64 years old.
It’s rediculus trying to look like the attractive fem gurls we were in our 20s to 30s.
I’ve stppped when I saw how ridiculous I looked in photos , where I thought I looked good, but just looked like an old man in woman’s clothes.
I used to be passable and should have started hormones 20 years ago. But the reality is, it makes me feel worse now to know what was lost.
Sure 100,000 in fem facial surgery would help- but I am not Katlin Jenner and can’t afford it.
You can still be pretty and femme. You can eat a plant based diet, hike, use a stair stepper, have a skincare routine, get a nice wig, wear light makeup, practice your walk, your voice, etc. Make some cis female friends and go out as one of the girls. You can absolutely live a wonderful feminine life without looking like a fashion model. I’m only 30 and I’m not at all blessed with good looks, but I’m slender, healthy, and feminine. Put the work in. You may not be a ravishing beauty, but you can look and feel nice.
I’ve secretly cross dressed since I was 12…I’m now 57, and want to make up for so many “lost” years. I’ll probably never transition, but I’m going to go “all-out femme” as often as I can!
I have been crossdressing since I was 14, I am now 65 and have just started HRT.
My granddaughter who is 27 told me the other day: “You sure look much younger as a female than when you are in male clothes!” I thought that was a great compliment. I do feel younger crossdressed. Best wishes to all the girls. But I recomment to train your voice. I am not happy if a woman talks to me in a male voice.
