over 35 and transitioning...any before and after pics?

[camron]

Hi everyone,
Information for those of us transitioning later in life is limited, and this includes pictures of older transmen and their physical transition. Maybe its because there aren't as many of us out there or we aren't technologically savvy or maybe we've reached an age where we are more private and less out there.

Whatever the reason, I wish I could find more before and after of people over 35 who've started T. Anyone fall into that category and want to share their before and after pics here?

I figured 35 was a good age since I don't look my age of 45. I'm starting T in two weeks (and I know everyone's transition is different) but I'm interested in seeing the results in others near my own age  My search online hasn't yielded many results.

I cannot seem to muster up the courage to post pictures, but I can tell you that change for me has been slow and mildly disappointing.  If I had started this process at 20 instead of 40, I am fairly certain I would have more of the masculinization that I desire.  That being said, I have no regrets, as I am living my life true to myself now.  It has been difficult being a man in mid-forties who looks like a teenage boy...it really throws up a red flag.  And, like you, I have always looked young for my age.  There are some middle aged guys on youtube that might reveal some visual transition insights for you.  Good luck with your journey...

Thanks guys!

There is a Before & After thread for the guys with a fair mix of ages.

This guy transitioned at 39. He's a silver fox.

I'm "only" 32. Realized I was transgender late last year and saw the Endocrinologist last week. I have to sort out some insurance tidbits, but hopefully soon can make an appointment with the Gender Psychologist. I'll be around for a while.

If you are on FB, you can hit up aleon515 (Jay), to join his 40+ group.  You would have a captive audience there.  Hopefully, Jay will pop in here and give you his experience with himself and also what he has heard from others.

I am 45 and have just started myself, so I don't have much to offer you in terms of experience.  What are you concerned about in terms of transitioning later?  If we will look like any other middle aged guy?  haha

Congrats, on finally getting here.

It have found it very hard and draining to transition professionally at this age.

I hear you. I was 42 when I decided I needed to transition, started T just over a month ago. I'm 44 now. Most transition videos and pics I see are of much younger guys. I'll post a pic if I can from my phone, but since it's only been a month, there's nothing to see.
Ok, top is just before starting medical transition, bottom is just over a month on T.

[aleon515]

It's kind of late right now, I'll post tomorrow (really should get a two year post-T picture anyway), but I transitioned  medically at 65. I never was read as male pre-t and now I am nearly read 100% male. There is no such thing as too old. (My avatar picture is maybe 1 1/2 years on T.)

I still don't look my age, but I'm in no rush.

2011 pre-T and something like a year and a half on T. It's kind of interesting as I think I have the same smile on both pictures. (BTW, my clone Brett mentioned my FB group. This is over 40 guys only. But there is a FB group Trans men over 30.)

I think he said he was over 40

I, on the other hand, definitely am not, so I'll leave this discussion to you wiser guys.

[JLT1]

Hi,


How about over 50?  Male to female transsexual talk, Before and After thread, page 8.

It's never to late!!!

Hugs,

Jennifer

You are correct, subject line confused me.

I'm just shy of 39 and can't see beginning to transition for a long time (family, job, all those adult responsibilities and complications), so I'm interested to follow along with this thread. Nice that there are some older guys on here who transitioned later in life.

[wkly1269]

I am 30 and I am 3 weeks on T. I really haven't change alot but i know that transitioning takes time. I am also worried that i decided to transition too late but i am hopefully that I will get good results. Hopefully i will be able to post before and after pictures to help when im further along in my treatment.

[Dex]

Wkly, I started at 30 as well. I'm almost 16 months on T now. I worried about being "too late" as well, but it honestly has been great. Even if nothing changed physically, I would still not trade it for the peace I feel in my brain with the testosterone. But you will definitely see some changes.

Full disclosure, I passed as male probably 70% of the time if I didn't open my mouth before I started T, but taking it has definitely changed my voice, my body structure and obviously hair. I pass 100% of the time now.  It's never too late

[aleon515]

Too late, never. Got to say though I am not a person with a lot of regrets and doubts. I'm very happy with transitioning.

I am 38years old and anticipate starting T in the fall of this year...add me to the list of older guys who are working their transition around family and career

I will be documenting my journey, when the time comes. I look forward to sharing my puberty with all of you!

[ZanBuck]

I'll be 40 in May... Started T in June 2013, and had Top Surgery a year ago, all of which have been really good to me. I'm still not passing 100%, mostly due to my large shapely hips (whee). I hate pictures, but if its useful here they are (I have very very few pictures from before the start of my transition heh). I'm thankful to be transitioning, despite the fact it took me so long. I spent most of my life deeply suicidal and I'm now happier than I've ever been or hoped to be. Transitioning while in the midst of a long career (I've been in the tech industry for over 20 years) has been the hardest part of this; I have some fun interview horror stories.

[camron]

Thanks all for the replies...sorry work got the better of me this week and I haven't been back until now...Yes my subject line was confusing when I look back at it. I am 45 but everyone says I look to be around 35 so I was looking for people over 35 who had transitioned.

Jay and MacG you look great! ZanBuck your pic passes with me.

I had my physical today from my doctor and my first T shot will be on 4/2. So excited. Thanks everyone for sharing and I can't wait to see those of you who are just starting like me!
