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 started wearing woman’s clothes when I was aboutb8 and up,wearing my mom’s clothes. She used to make me up and told me that I should be Petra. Now I am already 68 and let my woman inside take over.Noe I am extremely feminine and dress like it.
I started wearing Women’s clothing when I very young, it started with socks, cute colorful ones. Then I was going through coupons and saw an add for fishnet stockings, I think I was twelve…I went to the store and bought them, then I lost the feeling of wanting to dress until I was about 21. My Fiance cheated on me and left and then I started fully dressing, I never did that….make-up, wigs, skirts, stockings, everything….I was super happy during this time. Then I stopped again….I am now 40 gained some weight, not a lot but enough to make me ashamed of dressing, I,m at 180 I want to loose it and dress again….sigh…I just need someone or something to motivate me to do it.
You can do this sweetie I’m 59 and I’m still not sure if I can come out fully I have to a select number of people who are very understanding and supportive so you can do this just let her out once in a while
I had always known I didn’t fit into the stereotypical male profile but I didn’t act on it till I was 63. It cost me my marriage and family but other than the loneliness I feel I’m so glad that I transitioned. It feels great not having to pretend anymore. I can do my makeup, dress like I want and generally be my girly self. I’ve been on hormones for 3 years now and am preparing for breast augmentation. You only live once!!
I’ve started and stopped my female alter ego so many times I’ve lost count. But, here I am at 74 still trying to be a gurlly guy! It’s been in me since I was a pre-teen. I’ve tried to ignore my “JanaLee” side, but she’s still here!
Nothing enhances a feminine persona like a smile.
I started at 10 years old when I used to wear my mother’s clothes. I also used to go to school wearing a girls uniform. I was really skinny and really long hair so most of the other kids thought I was a girl. I’m now 58 and now get dressed up when I can which is often although I don’t live as a woman
