Have you ever felt like it might be too late to begin crossdressing or embark on your male to female transition?
If so, I’m here to tell you that it’s never too late to pursue your feminine dreams!
Regardless of your age or circumstances, there’s no better time than NOW to fully embrace your inner woman.
In this blog post, we’ll explore 7 reasons why it’s not too late for your MTF transformation or transition. Let’s get started!
1. There Are More Positive Transgender Role Models Than Ever Before
In today’s world, there are more positive trans role models than ever before.
From Janet Mock, transgender author and advocate, to Danica Roem, the first transgender woman to win a state seat, now is the perfect time join these role models in raising awareness.
2. With Age Comes Wisdom and Experience
While we might all wish to be forever young, age brings with it valuable wisdom and experience.
Your male to female journey can benefit greatly from the insights and knowledge that come with time.
3. 50 is the New 30 and 70 is the New 50
Despite our youth-obsessed society, there are many fabulous female icons in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond who prove that age is only a number.
Candis Cayne, Alexandra Billings, Tracey Norman, and many other trans celebrities prove that beauty and femininity have no expiration date.
4. You Care Less About What Others Think
As you grow older, you tend to care less about other people’s opinions. And that is a beautiful thing!
Spending less time worrying about what people think of you can definitely enhance your MTF journey.
5. These Pioneers Prove it’s Never Too Late to Reinvent Yourself
Countless late bloomers have achieved remarkable success by starting over later in life. Here are examples of transgender women who reinvented themselves after age 50:
- Rachel Levine, who serves as the 17th Assistant Secretary for Health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, began her transition when she was 54.
- Jennifer Pritzker, notable for being the first transgender billionaire, came out as transgender at age 63.
- Caitlyn Jenner, American media personality and former Olympic gold medal-winning athlete, came out as transgender at the age of 65.
6. It’s Better to Dare Than Have Regrets
When you reflect on your life one day, would you rather look back on a life that was lived to the fullest, even if it ruffled a few feathers, or be filled with regrets?
The choice to embrace your true self is yours to make TODAY.
7. There are More Resources Than Ever Before
Today, there is a wealth of resources available, including transgender and crossdressing support groups, websites, books, and specialized products and procedures.
These resources can go a long way in supporting your feminine transformation or transition.
In conclusion
I hope this post has convinced you that it’s never too late for your MTF transformation or transition. Now is the perfect time to pursue your feminine dreams, whatever they may be.

I’m 66 now and started my journey at 63. To start any earlier wouldn’t have been possible. I knew since an early age that something wasn’t right but started drinking and drugging at 18. I knew what I wanted to do but was too embarrassed and ashamed to confide in anyone. It wasn’t until I got sober that the thoughts came back and me and my therapist decided it was time to act. I don’t regret not transitioning at an earlier age because I had a family. I’ve lost my wife and family but I’m truly happy for the first time of my life.
I have just had my 64th birthday.
For decades I survived ( lived is perhaps not the appropriate word) as a man and like many married and had a family.
About twenty five years ago I partially came out to my wife who was accepting of my wearing a skirt around the house but that’s about as far as it went for some years.
As she is my soul mate I needed to give her time to come on the journey with me,
Four years ago I started full transition and earlier this year had surgery.
My wife was with me the whole week I was in hospital whilst my daughter took time off from her job to look after our dog.
Family support makes things so much better.
I think the fact we are more mature, in age and life experience, has made the whole process very good for us both.
One heard of such horror stories, but in my case, patience really had got me and my family the most wonderful outcome and we are all good with his things are.
I’m not saying people should leave coming out until they are older, every story is different, but neither coming out nor permanent transition should be rushed.
Yes it’s your life but your life needs other lives around it to be reasonably at peace with your life and though there will always be tough times and challenges, for all of you, you can sort things with compassion and mutual respect.
I changed in my late fifties and am thoroughly enjoying my early sixties, and thankfully I am enjoying them with my family.
Every day I am thankful for the amazingly fortunate life I have. It took along while comming, but it was so worth it.
I happen to believe that there is no wasted time. That all things happen at the proper time. You can’t be anywhere else except where your at. Rushing into transitioning could lead to severe hardship. Conditions of finances, responsibility, mental preparedness, physical health or living conditions can be factors in successfully transitioning. There is more information and resources available now than ever before and preparedness can go along way because transitioning can have uncertainties. It is never to late to become yourself. Like everything else in life, every step in the right direction will bring you closer to where you want be.
hi lucille you are very encouraging. ..and i totally agree i myself have wasted years…….but triyin now to slowly get there…thank you
Lucille, you are constantly amazing me when every posting that I read is more impressive than the last! Thank you for such a positive, inspirational article. Each of your seven points builds a case that there is nothing but fulfillment and enjoyment that results from acting on our inner voice and identity. Beautiful sentiment to live our lives by. And it’s not limited to the theme of It’s never too late for a male to female transformation. Your message applies to the theme of It’s never too late to take the steps to fully live our lives. Thank you for such a valuable lesson.

I totally agree with you I’m 70 and wasted so much of my life being inhibited by others. No more I’m going to enjoy the time I have left!

I’m about to turn 51 and just started getting back to crossdressing after a 15 year hiatus. I cry sometime when I think about those wasted years of not admitting to myself and the world who I am. I can’t get those years back, but I can make the most of the time I have left.
Hugs,
Renee
Im soon to be 50 and I wish I would have been my authentic self alot earlier. Im afraid but with time and encouraging words I should be fine
I totally agree wit you Renee. It`s natural to regret the wasted time, but it does not help.
