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 didn’t to fully Dress until I was 46 about 22 Years ago and still Dress today in fact in two Weeks time I will be 68 and going on a Girls Day Out with 3 or 4 Women Friends, they know my usual Style Short Skirts and Dresses and Stiletto High Heels as I still have Great Legs but they have asked me to wear a slightly longer just above the knee Dress
Came out two years ago at 68. On HRT for the past twenty-two months. You’re never too old to be your authentic self.
I’m 64 and am seeing my new Dr. tomorrow about gender affirming care. I’m excited but also worried that she will say no.
I were 45 when I started to fully embrace my ture feminine self. Since then it’s been a wonderful journey of discovery and I now live outside of work as a woman. I’m still learning as each day comes and now I don’t give a dam what any body thinks or says when out and about.
Hi all – I just turned 79! I’ve been retired for about 8 years now. And for the most part I live the majority of my life as a female. I’m rather small (5’7” 155lbs). I just try to blend in as any other woman and conduct myself appropriately. I’m always treated as a lady and I love it! Here is a photo of me this past Christmas at my local mall and one recently of me out shopping! Hugs, Suzy
I just started my transition journey this year at 38. The change has been pretty drastic.
I agree with you that there is no limit as a limit on age. I knew at the age of 13 that I was trans, but during the 60s transitioning would not have been a safe option. I am now 74 and have been married for many years. I have lived a life knowing that I should have been female and am ready to take those steps to make it a reality. Of course, my wife and family would never accept it, so this is going to be a struggle all the way.
After many years of on-off dressing and increasing dissatisfaction with my male life, at the age of 61 I went 80% and at 63 full time, changing name officially. I am now 71 and both live and work full time, I ve never had a better social life, with an amazing group of mainstream friends who fully accept Sarah… yes it has not without some issues but we cant please everyone … andI fully intend to go on living this way.. hormone therapy has been a little disappointing in some areas.. but love my new breasts!! I fully encourage anyoe considering themselves too old to take the step to go for it!!!
Die Lust mich zu verändern ist gross, die Angst auch. Ich lebte in einer Beziehung jetzt lebe ich allein. Eine Veränderung würden meine Kinder nicht verstehen. So werde ich bleiben wie ich bin und nicht so wie ich sein möchte.
