Reply To: Being older as a transgender/cross dresser?

[Bobbie Waters]

I’ve read all the responses to this thread to date and here is a thought to all us older women, no matter how or where you present. It’s not so much about how you look; it’s about how you act. The more confidence you display, the more easily you are accepted (or ignored in a good way). At 80, I may be the elder stateswoman here, and I’m only 18 months into womanhood. I dress smartly for my age, with a wig, minimal makeup, and age appropriate clothes. I’m often out in public and I’ve yet to experience any negative reaction to being a woman. So, no matter if you are still in the closet or not, even if you are just in front of a mirror, present yourself as a confident woman ready to face the world. Over time, it will help you to open that closet door to show the world the woman you really are.
