Every now and then, I hear somebody ask…
“Am I too old to crossdress?” or “Am I too old to transition as a woman?”
The simple answer to this question is NO.
Whether you are 33 or 73 – and whether you aim to express yourself through crossdressing, or live as a woman full time – it’s NEVER too late to be your true femme self.
Life is short and you deserve to make the most of your precious time on earth.
Does this mean you should act on every frivolous whim that crosses your mind? Of course not. And obviously, life-changing moves like hormones or surgery need to be given serious thought.
But I believe the true desires or your heart are meant to be expressed – no matter how long they’ve been buried.
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 femme self.
So go for it, girlfriend: Buy the shoes, schedule the makeover, contact the gender therapist – or 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 embrace your fab femme self? (Or are you still waiting?)
Let’s continue the conversation in the comments below!
Love,
Lucille

I’ve been crossdressing off and on for most of my life. I’m 69 and I still attract men if all ages. I have a date next week with a 29 year old gentleman. I do believe that age is just a number! My first time being a girl was at age 12. A relative manipulated me into dressing in female under things and well, he took me. I loved it! As I said, I’m 69 now and I still love feeling the excitement of a mans orgasm! Knowing I helped him!
I have been cross dressing since early 1990s. Because of my vehement desire to become a woman I have got my ears pierced – 3 piercings in each ear lobe. I have also on several occasions cross dressed in broad day light in a city with little or no fear. If l have my way l am ready to fully transition to a woman. L would be very happy if you could please assist me. I am an African. l am anxious waiting for your reply soon. – Anonymous
I need your help on how I can transition to a female. – Anonymous
desde los 6 años July esta presente, inicialmente use sabanas , los tacones de mi mama , y posteriormente su ropa y su maquillaje, recuerdo que casi me sorprenden muchas veces por que ignoraba que no era tan facíl quitarme el maquillaje sin embargo a pesar de esto tengo 60 años y nunca lo he dejado de hacer vestirme y soñar con ser esa mujer, nunca nadie se ha dado de cuenta y creo que lo lamento, por que a lo mejor hubiera hecho otra vida, ahora estoy dispuesta a abrazar nuevamente el sueño consultando a los médicos expertos en el tema de transformación y el leer los consejos de Lucille me han ayudado a entender mi sentimiento gracias y que nunca es tarde. Solo pensarlo me da alegría
I’ve been a crossdresser for a long time, Ive recently started expressing myself more now that I’m 46. Its never to late to embrace your feminine side.
Since I have come to terms with it, i love it. My wife also loved it because the connection of our marriage is stronger than before. We are closer than we ever have been.
Yes it is a scary road, loneliness, secrets, fear, it is common to feel these. In the end, its freedom, lifts that weight right off your shoulders.
Dont be afraid to unleash your true self. Age isnt a factor, its you that has to step through the door.
Hello Shannaw,
I am so inspired by your story that I started to cry. I have been a cross dresser for years but only acted on it in secret few and far between. I am 48 and have decided to give into my feminine side and be myself dressed up or not. My wife was on board since she knew most of my mannerisms and actions scream female anyway. I even explained how it could enrich our already fantastic marriage, but as soon as I expressed my desire to dress as a “Courtney” she has become very distant. Thank you for your story it gives me hope and bless you and your wife.

I’m 47, currently under medical guided transition… but I am married, with kids. The whole thing, and I am debating if I can actually do this. No one knows, people suspect, but not confirmed because I am afraid of losing everything. So, I am living 2 lives, and it’s horrible. One one hand, I feel amazing with no testosterone and seeing the change. On the other, it’s getting real, and I don’t know how much time I have left. I’m terrified at what my future holds.
That’s so silly, being too old to crossdress or transition. I’ve been crossdressing since the age of 12. Tried being all guy, but Rachel just wouldn’t die. I’ve found that I’m much more comfortable in a skirt or dress. When I’m en femme, I feel more relaxed, beautiful and confident. Now, at 47, I’m learning to fully transition and make Rachel more of a reality. It’s slow going, both time and money wise, but she’ll be out there, ready to take on the world.
