Hi All, Jackie here, looking forward to meeting others. I am a married life long crossdresser who is now 61 and have taken the plunge 6 months and started HRT. A scary step for me as my wife is not aware i am on HRT. She knows i crossdress and has known for 35 plus years. But i felt it was time i did something for myself. However with not having any one to talk to about this i have a deep feeling of loneliness, hoping to meet others like my self who i can chat with and hopefully become friends .
Hi there, Jackie. Yes, there are people like you around. I am a 48-year-old transgender woman. I have been on HRT for about 3 years now, and have been living as a woman for about 4 years. I do know how lonely a person can feel going through a transition like this. So, if you would like a friend to confide in, or even just a virtual shoulder to cry on please feel free to contact me.
You came to the right place! There is a wealth of information here as many have made The Journey.
However, I do have one thought to share...
What do you think your wife’s reaction would be if she discovered what you are doing?
Hello Jackie. Welcome to the site. I am an older trans girl also. Like you I started HRT without telling my wife. I had been out to her for 2 years. Six months later after starting HRT she asked me if I was taking hormones and I said yes. When asked why we had not discussed it first (same as getting her permission) I asked her would she have said yes to my taking hormones if I had asked her first. And of course the answer was no.
As trans girls we have to do whatever we can to survive. No one else will do it for us.
My wife hasn’t noticed anything as of yet. My breast are a little bigger as I have always had breast Gyno since I was young. She actually like them and always has. But they are getting bigger so she might question it. How has she handled it now that she knows you are on hormones?
Hi Jackie my name is Andria welcome I look forward to getting to know you.
Hi Dee Ann,
honestly I really don’t know. We have been together for over 46 years she was always ok with my crossdressing even encourage it to a degree but has never wanted to see me fully dressed. My guess would be she would be ok with me taking hormones but would not want me to go all they way and present as a woman full time. I think that would be a problem if other new especially our family’s.

Thank you, I do also look forward to getting to know you.
