Hi ladies, My name is Bobbie. 62,been on hormones for 3 months. Been in counseling for 6 months. My wife passed away about 3 years ago. She was okay with me cross dressing. I met a girl about 2 and a half years ago. Waited about a year to tell her I was a crossdresser. Then 6 months later told her Iwas transgender.2 weeks ago I told her I was taking hormones because it was becoming obvious my body was changing. She broke up with me for not being honest. I really love her but donβt think she will come back this time. At my age should I just forget about transitioning ? I was really hoping I had found someone who would love and accept me. Would really appreciate any hope strength or experience.
Hi Bobbie.Β You have to be happy with yourself before you can ever make someone else happy.Β From experience, it is possible to meet someone after transition.Β I stopped being afraid to go out, but found safe venues.Β I wasn't even really looking for someone.Β Kind of old fashioned like we just happened to connect over mutual interests and its grown from there.Β It may not be long lasting, but I'm at peace with that because I'm at peace with myself and know a relationship does not define me.
Age is not much of a factor any more either.Β I know people in their 70's transitioning happily.
My name is Carissa. I am 67 and have been transitioning for 6 month now. When I told my wife I was transitioning, she was angry at first. After a couple of day, she was OK with it for the most part, but didn't want anything to do with it.
Now she supports my transition and we still love each other, but she wants a partner she can relate to as a couple.
I feel that as time passes, we cross paths with so many people and our lives evolve. I think we somehow need to accept the changes.
Thank you, I hope I have the same type of relationship you have.
Hi Bobbi,
I am 58 years old and I am transitioning, it is never "too late" in life to do so!! If you are ever going to love and make someone else happy, you first MUST be happy with yourself!! It sounds like it's time for you to focus on yourself and move forward with your transition. Unless, you don't really want to do it.
Hugs, Breanna
Hi Bobbie. I am 64, been aware all my life that I was gender non-congruent. Eventually recognized I was trans and today embrace my own womanhood.Β Welcome. Hopefully you will find all the support and encouragement you need here.
In kindness
