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,

I started crossdressing when I was 13 and am approaching my late 60s. I enjoy this part of my life more now than I did then. The Maturity lets me accept the fact that I love being a woman. I love being as feminine as I can and going out. There was too much denial and guilt when I was younger. You are never too old to be who you are
Hi all – I just turned 79! Yikes! I have been retired now for about 8 years. I live my life now pretty much 24/7 as a woman and I love it! I am fairly small, and just try to blend is as a normal woman wherever I go. I’m always treated as a lady which is great! So, it’s never to old to crossdress! Here are some recent photos of me! Suzy
I think it’s wonderful that you decided to transition later in life girl.I started 2 and a half years ago and like you I am so Happy I decided to do it because being my true self makes me a Happier person oh by the way I’m turning 61 September
Never to old to crossdress!
I transitioned when I was in my 30’s, I am now turning 60 this year. I’ve always believed it is never too late to transition, age is just a number.
I transitioned when I was 64 and haven’t looked back. I just turned 71 a few last week and the only thing I regret is not transitioning sooner. I consider myself a transgender woman therefore I’m not cross dressing although there’s nothing wrong with cross dressing, but I do believe there’s a difference. As an older woman it’s important to dress your age to blend in. You can still be cute, but there’s a difference in how girls and women dress

Thank you for sharing your story. At 86 you look marvelously lady like.
I’m 80 still married to a wonderful wife but is not OK with my dressing at all.
I still dress just not as fem as I would like so we get a long.
I get my nails done and wear them long red or pink for me. She has got use to them and doesn’t complain much now.
It helps that I get compliments on them when we are out eating. : )
Other than that I don’t dress much in town but I do love my red lipstick when she is not with me.
I guess when you get our age, we don’t give a crap what’s others think. LOL
I don’t know how many years I have left but I’m going to be me from now on.
I wish I looked as put together as you do sexy lady.

I have to that what you have put here is such an inspiration to me. I am at least 20 years behind you, and have no intention of ever giving up wearing feminine attire. Very good luck to you. xx
I started transitioning at age 47. I’m now 50 and still in the process.
You look fantastic! Forgive me for asking, but did you have breast implant surgery or is that from breast forms? They look so natural and that’s exactly what I’m seeking. Natural and not seeking to do anything more than simply blend in.
Hi all in this troubled world. Crossdressing is a means to leaving (for a while or forever) it behind and enjoy appearing as a female. At the age of very nearly 86, cross dressing was a serious but intermittent activity. I became married to a wonderful lady in Sydney, Australia, in 1982 but she did not want to know and understand and talk abut my female presence. With much regret she passed away suffering from cancer in 2009. From 1967 to 1981 my dressing was a very serious activity with attending the Sydney Opera House, theatre shows, shop- ping etc. And riding various models of motorbikes! I did become a member of the Seahorse Society, New South Wales, Australia, in 1984 and unknowing to my wife, attended meetings of the cross dressing society on an irregular basis. We moved to Coffs Harbour in January 2007 where we had a small apartment building of 4 units. With my wife’s passing away, from 2010 I began to amass a collection of feminine attire, mostly by on-line ordering, but utilising several opportunity shops. Several department stores have great sales, so purchasing of items still persists — cannot resist the styles and colours! Regrettably, to be out in the publics’ eye is still almost nil. I have a couple of long-distance acquaintances who know of my wants and needs to appear as female as possible, but no-one locally. I frequently believe that if I had never married in 1982, had continued to live and work in Sydney, then life would have continued, as close as possible, to appear as a female. Not necessarily with various operations — perhaps a couple. I am fortunate that a drug I was taking for more than 20 years, stopped the growth of hair on my body, arms, legs, but NOT the face and head (although the latter is very thin). Even as a male, people often ask me, when learning of my years of life, why do I look so young? Luck of the draw I guess. I cannot blame that on the makeup I frequently wear. So for me, cross dressing will be a major part of my existence until the day I ”pop off the planet”. It is too late for me to permanently appear as a representation of a lady. All the best wishes and thoughts and my frequent saying: ”be who you want to be and be satisfied and happy.”
You look great to me, vary lovely with that Sultry look. PM me on Fet life, deedee188
