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

Currently pushing 87 and ever since I can remember, I’ve been imaging myself as a girl/woman. Began wearing girl’s/woman’s clothes since I was four years old. I still do.
I seriously considered MTF transitioning in the early 1980’s, but like many of us, society and family precluded switching sides. Sadly, I was born too soon. I envy today’s open mindedness to TS/TV
i am 83
I was 57 before I had any inkling at all that there was another part of me. At 62, I am still grappling with which is real and right. Transition is out of reach. I dress occasionally to the extent that is practicable but that isn’t much nor often. Fifty-seven years exclusively as a male leaves me feeling like an imposter when I try to express or experience the female inside.
I am 71 years old and encourage anyone who thinks they are too old to find out what the woman of their dreams can look like. I suggest attending a local tgirl event, or going to one for a girls getaway weekend moment, they are scattered across the USA. At mine we have full professional makeup hair, natural and wig, and custom made to match your outfit temporary nail services available for those who need help in those areas. At our May event earlier this year, our verified age range was 18 to 89
I hope those of you sitting on the fence will pursue your dreams to live it fully feminine at least once in your life!
Thank you Lucille, for your great work helping us realize our femininity!
Warmest hugs,
Hanna

Born in 1960 and trying on my sister’s panties around age 4, I always thought I was a girl. Not a good time in history to be out of the norm, so I would always spend my time with the other girls. I would “experiment” from time to time over the years, but then always trying to be “the man”. I married and had two beautiful daughters now in their 40’s. I’ve been with my third wife for last a 20 years and came out cross dressing a couple of years ago. With the help of this wonderful website and a lot of research and therapy I stated HRT MTF a year ago. It was difficult at first, but now my wife goes shopping with me. My daughters and close friends know and are happy for me. I still hide it from most people and am afraid of the consequences if I do come out. Not so much of how it affects me but how it would impact my family due to all the hater’s out there. I only hope that with time and knowledge we as humans will someday understand that we are all different and just let one another be happy. Thanks for listening.
l am now 72, but when l was young and not developing as a male l was fed medication to aid my development. Great it made me hairy, still wanted to be a girl though. When caught in my mums clothes l was told l was ill and it would pass. 60 plus years later and it hasn’t passed. l have now come out living my life as Alana exploring my transition options taking into account all my ailments. Wouldn’t want to be a teenager again but wish acceptance by society then would have been as it is now
I’m 69 years old and my girlfriend loves for us to go in public as lesbians and kiss in front of people and she gave me a new name Linda we have a great relationship she is definitely the girl for me
I am in my late 60’s and have only come out publicly a few years ago. I have been on HRT for over a year. My decision and journey are not everyone’s but I don’t regret now open and free. It hasn’t always been easy physically or emotionally which should be advised. I couldn’t hide, fearful and ashamed anymore. It was the best decision.
I’m going on 70 and I’ve been dressing as female ever since I was thirteen ! It seemed like the older I got the more that I feminized myself to look like I really am a woman ! The more I did it the sexier I became so I decided that it was time for me to come all the way out and be who I really want to be !
