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 began my Transition in 1976. Lived a dual life for the next 35 Years. That meant that outside “Work” when I was playing a bit part on the stage of life as a male I was the REAL me that I knew I was from a very young age. I had also learned that I was BORN intersex and had a Hysterectomy when I was very young (before I was 2-1/2 years old). I stated HRT in the early 2000’s. Was terminated from employment because I was/am a Trans Sexual Woman who was born Intersex. At that point in time I was 56. I went through the two yeas of required living as a female and all required therapy. Then had My SRS operation at 64. That was a great success! I am NOW 70+ and LOVE my life. I am at peace with God and my body living as I was intended and created to be. I have a wonderful boyfriend and still wear Heels and LIVE A FULL LIFE! The picture is from my recent trip to Nashville, TN and was taken on Saturday afternoon August 23, 2025
I just turned 80 last year! I can’t believe it! But age is just a number. I’m a small girl around d 5’7” 150 lbs., and retired. I live my life now almost 24/7 as a female and I love it! I just try to blend in as any other woman down here in Texas! It gets hot here so I wear a lot of sundresses like other gals do down here. I get pedicures and manicures once a month and always go in the salon as Suzy! So much fun! Here is a photo of me the other day trying on another dress at Kohl’s which I bought! Have fun out there and be yourselves!
I’m 75 years old and live as a women. My passing is decent, but my joy in experiencing my female self is unmistakeable. It’s very important to accept ourselfs. In this way we become more loving people.

My feminine awareness began when I was about 5 years of age. Today, I’m pushing 88 years old. I began experimenting as a teenager and limited my dressing very secretively until my early 40’s. In the meantime dressing costed a divorce. Relocating to the Bay Area, I found wonderful support groups and I blossomed into the mature, conservative inner woman that I am today. After dating several women post-divorce, four out of five embraced my cross dressing. Several, some more enthusiastically than others. Bottom line, I am now married for 45 years to my biggest supporter. I made it very clear at the outset, of my proclivities; take me as is, or leave me. No secrets. No lying, no deceptions. So, honestly, dressing my younger years was a sexual rush. Time, hormones and physiology have dampened those feelings and urges. Bottom line? Whenever I gaze into a mirror, I still see a woman looking back; the classic woman living in a man’s body. I will never have XX chromosomes, they, however, will live viciously in my heart and soul. Also, I actually married myself on a lonely beach years ago ending internal conflict as to who I actually was as a person. Sisters… it never goes away. Love yourself! The photo is not current, but it who I am.
At 54 years young, and looking back, the only thing I regret is not investing more time in Ashley during her younger years. I can vividly recall at 18, 19 years old and looking at myself in a tight black dress, no makeup whatsoever, and saying out loud, “I wish I was a woman”. Years and time have passed and it wasn’t until I was in my 40s that I really started to embrace and most importantly, understand my feminine self. It was also a different time back then, when I first started out dressing fully, where all I can recall were the stares I got from walking around a shopping mall. To say this was unacceptable back then is an understatement. I go out in public now, in my 50s, and no one hardly bats an eyelash at me. I think about all of the wasted years in between and it sometimes gets depressing, but here I am now, expressing myself to the fullest. Do I still wish I was a woman? Sometimes, but honestly seeing the transformation from my vanilla self into Ashley never gets old. I feel more beautiful a person when I am her. How long will this go on for is an entirely different subject which sometimes gives me anxiety, but that is an issue for somewhere further down the road. For now I will continue to embrace Ashley, and I encourage everyone out there to do the same with your feminine energy! Be yourself!
