So hi. Figured sooner or later I'd end up with my foot in my mouth so let's get that out of the way. Senior citizen here, been crossdressing as long as I can remember. Attempted to transition twice, once in the early '80's and again in the late '90's Chickened out each time. Had deep regrets last time. Typed out a paragraph, deleted it. Twice. So I'll just say hello for now.
Welcome, Dianne! I am glad you could join us. I too am a senior. Cross-dressed in private for much of my life. I finally realized that I needed to transition when I was 62. Fortunately, my wife was and still is understanding. life is so much better now.
My wife is slowly accepting, mostly since I'm crossdressing every day, all day. I dress just to feel normal.
I've crossed dressed since I was 11, when 8 or 9 used watch my mum getting dressed in the 50s , putting her stockings and suspenders on sometimes a girdle with suspenders, they looked so amazing, I didn't have a mum thing what so ever just loved the clothes she wore, I used to put her bra, panties, stockings and suspenders on with a summer dress and walk around the house in her high heels, looking at my self in the mirrow. this is private to me and know one knows only me except the like minded people on hipforums, I wear my lingerie under my male clothes when I go out, I still dress up now at 74 years old, nobody knows only you,
Hi Dianne! Senior here too. I wrote a coming out letter and posted it on FB, then my company HR department, and the snowball just kept rolling from there. That was a few years ago, and the best thing I've ever done. We each have our own paths to follow and yet our journeys are very similar, and only you will know when the time is right, and that is just fine. There is never any need to rush these things. I wish you well!
I think it's sexy. As a married man, age 52,I find the cross dressing, tranny thing very cool. And sexy. Who's dB I knew one to talk to
Just to inform you, @4cats - "the cross dressing, tranny thing" is not an acceptable way to express oneself in this section. It is actually a slang term that transgender people find hurtful and insulting, and should not be used. Crossdressing and transgendering are two different things - and sometimes some people struggle to go so far as to actually move through the rigors of transitioning from one gender to another. I'm sure you meant no harm... just educating you.
Hi Dianne. Just remember that you’re not alone. I’ve been crossdressing since I was about 10, and at 75 am still doing it on occasion. My wife is vehemently opposed to it and that still causes moderate electricity in the home, even after 52 years together. For a few years in my career I travelled a lot and was able to go out dressed when in other cities and it was joyous. Two years ago my physician offered to support me if I wanted to transition but I politely declined. With adult children and several grandchildren it all just seems like it would be very complicated at my age, both for me and for my family. To say nothing of the stress on my ageing body. Earlier this year I outed to my 3 children and they seem okay with the way I am. I’ll just continue to indulge myself privately see and try to arrange to be a woman the next time around.
Hello Dianne. I'm on in years too and have been crossdressing in phases. I enjoy it but I'm not always in the mood to be feminine. Sometimes it's much more fun to be a man and sometimes it's more exciting to pretend to be a woman. I feel more at home in lingerie in the company of a man but can't relax with women when I dress up. Just me. I get by with wearing panties, stockings, camisoles under my clothes, sometimes letting a little peak through. It's my turn on. We all have different experiences and feelings inside so I don't judge and hope not to be judged. My flavor of being a woman is fleeting and in phases. I know it's not how it is for others but we're all in the same lifeboat and I support what makes you feel good as long as it's not harmful to others.
