Hi Martha: transition in my thoughts means change in different ways. I too am aged and also in good health but just the dressing is all I would like to do. The feelings and being comfortable is all I’m after .yes 30 years ago transitioning would have likely been more dramatic , but now I’m quite happy doing just the dressing and to me the femininity that involves from this is satisfying to me. Do what you feel comfortable and no more, if your happy doing what your doing just do what’s making you happy. Hugs !!! be who you are and love it. 🌹
Actually it’s never to late to transition. Outward transitioning can be anything from no change in appearance to full surgical changes. Every body’s transition is unique. Do not let anyone mislead you into believing that hormones and surgery is required.
Identifying as transgender is primarily about what’s going on inside your head and not what your wearing or the hormones you’re talking. I been transgender all my life and I tried to keep it secret and repressed. When I turned 60 I finally accepted being transgender and started my transition. I do not take hormones or plan on surgery. Instead I do exercise to keep myself in good shape, I do specific exercises to obtain a feminine physical figure. Narrower waist, wider hips, rounder butt. I take care of my skin and keep it soft, I done laser hair removal, voice feminization. All of these things are part of my physical transition. It’s hard work but it works. I also doing social transition, learning to present myself as a woman. Presenting means learning to be a woman, feminine gestures, feminine walking, make up, clothes, shoes..etc. Now at age 62 I feel like I’m a woman and pass as a middle age attractive woman and I love it. I feel so comfortable and confident and complete.
it is never to late to be your self you know the truth about who you are trust yourself
I need your help ladies.how do you begin transitioning? Is therapy the initial step? Hopefully ssomebody can guide me ,who’s taken that so important step
Love you all Shelley
Hi Shelley,
That’s a question that I asked myself two years ago when my wife gave me the ultimatum to see someone or else. If you want to transition, you should certainly find a good therapist experienced with transgenders of all the various levels. I have and it helps quite a bit to have someone you can open up to and help you decide if this is the way you should go. Joining a community is probably the next best thing, which we have in CDH, but after that its joining a LGBTQ community where you live, which can be a little more challenging. The thing I am finding in all this is that there is a tremendous amount of commitment needed to transition and helps certainly to have others to be with you on that path.
Hugs, Penny
