As time goes by, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that it’s “too late” for certain opportunities.
Have you ever thought that it’s too late for you to step out en femme, begin your transition, or simply look as beautiful and feminine as you feel on the inside?
I firmly believe that it’s NEVER too late to pursue your feminine dreams. No matter what your age or situation, there’s no better time than now to express your fab femme self.
Keep reading for 7 reasons why it’s NOT too late for your male to female transformation!
1. There are more positive transgender role models than ever before
From Laverne Cox (transgender actress and advocate) to Danica Roem (first transgender woman to win a state seat), there are more transgender women in the public eye than ever before. What better time to join these role models in spreading awareness?
2. With age comes wisdom and experience
Sure, we’d all love to look 22 forever. But age comes with some pretty great perks – namely wisdom and experience. There’s nothing that can’t benefit from a dose of wisdom and experience, including your male to female journey.
3. 50 is the new 30 and 70 is the new 50
Despite our youth obsessed society, there are so many gorgeous female icons in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond. Jennifer Lopez, Christie Brinkley, Helen Mirror, Raquel Welch, and countless others prove that there’s no expiration on beauty and femininity.
4. You care less about what others think
The older you get, the less you care about what others think of you. (Remember all those dramas in high school?) It’s incredibly liberating to let go of caring about the opinions of others.
5. These pioneers prove it’s never too late to reinvent yourself
There are so many examples of people who started over and created amazing success later in life. Here are a few of my favorites:
- Top designer Vera Wang began her fashion career at age 40.
- Julia Child published her first book at age 39 and made her TV debut at age 51.
- Laura Ingalls Wilder (author of “Little House on the Prairie”) published her first novel at age 65.
- Anna Mary Robertson Moses (better known as Grandma Moses) began her painting career at age 78. In 2006, one of her paintings sold for $1.2 million.
6. It’s better to dare than have regrets
One day you will look back at your life. Would you rather have lived fully (and perhaps rustled a few feathers in the process) or be filled with regrets? The choice is yours to make TODAY.
7. There are more resources than ever before
From transgender and crossdressing support groups, websites, books, and services – to specialized products and procedures – there are more resources than ever that can benefit your feminine transformation or transition. Check out the Transgender/Crossdressing Resources page of this site for some ideas!
In conclusion
I hope this short post has convinced you that NOW is the perfect time to pursue your feminine dreams – whatever that might mean for you. It is absolutely not too late!

yo desde que me acuerdo me vestí de mujer me sentí mujer y soy mujer sin embargo tuve miedo a el que dirán nunca pense en casarme y menos con una mujer pero al vivir como hombre conocí a mi esposa no quiero decir nada respecto al amor, pero cuando le dije que yo era transsexual me pidio que me fuera se sintío muy mal,y ahora estoy viviendo sola, tratando de ser la mujer que nací aunque por mi edad 60 añitos los médicos no son muy optimistas pero espero pronto ser completamente libre leyendo los comentarios y el tema que estamos tratando me da un nuevo impulso para seguir adelante gracias por este espacio me ha ayudado mucho
Tengo 29 años y me encanta ser una chica hermosa, pero es difícil para mi gente aceptar esto, pasar de padre a hija, pero creí en toda mi vida para vivir una hija como el resto de las chicas y quiero tu ayuda para lograr mi sueño. Muchas gracias por este hermoso programa. Problemas
Hi Lucille this is Melanie. I finally came up with the courage tell my youngest daughter who I’m really close with and she’s 33 years old that I was transgender. I thought you would react differently than she did but she was happy for me. It was a big relief now I just have to tell my oldest daughter. I’ve been on HRT for eight months and I am 60 years old so I’m anxious for my journey Melanie I did not already say this this is my first time I don’t get it I guess I can’t submit my comment

I’m 57 now and have held it secret for my whole life. I came out to my wife of 11 years less. She has been so receptive to my feminine side it’s brought us closer. I’m going to an informed consent clinic to get hrt. I’ll be using the guides supplied by Lucille. They are so informative. Thank you Lucille for being here for us girls.
Hi Lucille. I’m a 46year old CD who thought it was too late for me to come out and step out as a woman until I read this article. As a guy I have always has a small structure with some small features. I always felt that I was never the typical guy like guy. One day when I was 13 I tried on a pair of pantyhose,a pencil skirt,a silk blouse and a pair of peep toe heels and I WAS IN HEAVEN! Over the years I’ve dressed as a woman for Halloween a few times and even though I was nervous people would tell me how good I looked and a couple of people even said I made a much better woman. I hope that was a compliment. Most times in my head I think like a woman and am emotional. I feel guilty a lot of times because I know I was born a male,but dressing up totally femme just seems right and feels so great? Is there something wrong with me Lucille?~Karen.
Hi Lucille!
For almost 40 years, I kept this major secret of being very interested in crossdressing. That all changed in October 2016, when I finally broke my silence and told my wife & family about the real me.
I’m in my late 40’s now, and am finally living my life the way I should be. I still don’t crossdress 24/7, but I at least do so at every opportunity that I get…even if it’s something as minor as wearing undergarments and hosiery under my work clothes. And when I’m not on the corporate clock, I wear my favorite clothes and will make my appearances in public whenever possible.
It feels so good to look so good! 🙂

Hi Lucille,
A few years back, while I was still married, I read this article. I was happily taken aback. I will be 70 next month and for the past 2+ years I have been living full time as a female. I have never been happier. I love your articles. Thank you for being an advocate for us.
I also use Sublime Bust. I have seen an increase in my breast size.

Patti,
I am very , very happy for you. I am 63 and I am longing to live as a woman 24/7. Still too many other family obligations.
One day I will hopefully find another like-minded female, live with her, or preferable marry her, and spend the rest of my life as a woman.
It is wonderful to see that there are others in my age group leading the way.
Hugs,
Michelle Jeannette
