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,

I look at age as the number of trips I’ve made around the sun as Earth revolves around it. I say it’s only too late if you die without ever expressing who you are. I say; go for it
Got divorced at 50, now slowly transitioning. Some family support and friend support, but not all and that is ok! I love the new me and am working on getting on hrt and moving forward from there!
Looking amazing hope you feel as good as you look.
No, it’s never too late. I’m 83, youngish looking, although I sometimes feel 93. 83 years of misery, self doubt, guilt, fear, depression/s, bipolar and suicidal thoughts and a couple of attempts. Who the hell would chose to be transgender. Hormones (three and a half years have helped).
I needed this article, because I was on the verge of giving up hope of becoming my true self

I love those EYES they make a person WANT TO KNOW YOU BETTER
I started to wear Mom’s clothing when I was 8 and my Mom was always helpful and taught me how to apply makeup including lipstick. She always wanted me to be a Girl instead of a Boy.
Like so many others before me and after me, I too have hid, purged, wished, prayed, hoped and waited. Worried about the future, about what people thought, about being ridiculed, fitting in or being stared at. Worried that my secret will be revealed. Hoping it’ll just go away if I could just man-up. Fighting against myself daily, for years, my whole life and then concerned that it’s too late with thoughts of regret that I should have transitioned earlier. This is torture. At some point, realize that you need help. Seek help from a therapist and/or support group. This helps you to understand your own thoughts and to realize that many other people are feeling the same way and experiencing the same conflict. It’ll help you find peace of mind so you can decide more clearly what is best for you, whether you decide to transition or not. You are not too old to help yourself. When I couldn’t take the anguish anymore, I came out to my wife. Out of love, she helped me to find the help I needed. The hardest part was admitting that I needed help. No regrets.
You are JUST TO SEXY FOR WORDS
FRESH!
I’ve always wanted to say that 🙂
Thank you, Elbert.
I am 63 years old and have been transitioning for 18 months. Should have done it 30+ years ago.
It’s never too late, but don’t wait, when you know you know and it won’t get easier the older you get.

I have been a cross dresser as long as i can remember. I am now 73! Like most trannies I have purged every so often and given up for some time. I have spent a fortune on clothes, wigs and makeup and got rid of it all time and again! I have been on HRT for a year. Now I fell more and more that I want to be a real woman with SRS. I really don’t know what to do.
