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 was 39 when I finally accepted the woman inside me. Prior to that I had been fighting against my femininity, denying and suppressing it, trying, and failing, to be the “man” I was supposed to be. I hated myself because until ’79 I did not even know that there was anyone else in the world who felt like I did. It took another 10 years of therapy and occasional experimentation before I felt comfortable enough to let me actually be the woman I am. 30 years later I am living openly as a woman
Initially I was really worried about my age. Posts, blogs and images all seemed to be gurls in their 20s, 30s and early 40s. In my mid 50s I felt too old, grey thinning hair and years of sun damaged skin from outdoor occupations.
Internal pressure to be me however became too great and I decided to set about making changes. It was for me afterall, nobody else.
I am beyond glad I did.
Like many I wish I had started way earlier but hey, even cis girls age and I even break some of the ‘you must dress this way’ rules also … because I want to.
Love your info Lucille.
you are never to old to enjoy life
Lucille and I completely agree with you!

At 54 I have been at it for as long as I can remember.. earliest was as a youngster with a neighbor girl playing dress up, by high school I took some of my friends sisters panties and wore them to school under my jeans which often were ladies jeans.. I never really got caught,stopped for some years until I met my now wife of 26yrs.. as a young couple before 4kids we attended a Halloween costume party as lesbian hookers, I had my legs shaved and padded a sexy bra and wore fishnet stockings and a little black dress with high heel boots, later at the party the host and hostess asked us something thinking we were both women and I answered that I was dressed as a girlThey were quite supprised and said we would have gotten first prize if I had spoken manly before that.. I kind of hid it for a while and after the kids were born and the youngest was 16 we went trick or treating in town I was dressed as Lita Ford, it was fun and people didn’t seem to be too alarmed or have any problem with it.. for several years I hid it from wife (at least the frequency and desire) but had been caught by her with eyeliner on and I just said it was part of the rest of the girly stuff.. when I bought a new wig she knew I got it and didn’t question it much. I now don’t hide all my skirts,dresses,pantyhose, corsets,heel boots and shoes,and have always been wearing ladies panties and jeans and some girly t-shirts occasionally but still don’t present to her my girly dressed up side.. I have before BLOVID been in public many times when her and kids were out of town including getting groceries and at Walmart trying on dresses etc.. even have gone as a man and tried on and bought women’s clothes and accessories, which was great fun with some of the people who noticed.. the community shop lady definitely knows and was used to me in both forms she is great! I dream of a day when I can feel confident enough to do it around wife but she likes her man and so do I (kinda hard to split wood etc with a skirt on and yes I have done it!! ) the neighbors have seen me in every outfit and wig doing stuff in garden and even working on roof and I had kinda hoped it would get brought up but kinda glad it hasn’t. Wife knows I am only attracted to women and actually kinda homophobic … I don’t want to transition or include any male into any fun we have but love the female body and mind and have fantasized of a “threesome”more than once but don’t think it would be fair unless she suggested it.. at this time in life it has been quite a long time since we made love and I really miss the sex but so far have been faithful.. I have bought clothes on forums and met the gals to get them and really enjoy the chance to talk to females about it and like how they usually comment how much I look like a girl.. I am glad to have found places like this to actually share and hopefully talk to people about it! The wife and daughters have fun saying how cute a dress is or a pair of boots or leggings or bra is and they giggle when I say I would totally wear those… lol thanks everyone for listening !!!
I just turned 63 on July 23rd I’m in therapy and hope to start hrt soon, I say it’s not about age it’s about time!
A few more cause I like to share..
