Welcome, Tamara!
Wow, I may have to look you up sometime!
The two principal issues that pretty much prevent me from transitioning at this time are male pattern baldness and body hair. Like you, I'm older, but not a CD or TV. I'm a wannabe MTF classic TS. If I ever did transition, I would surely need wigs ... all the time! Darn it! Anyway, I may look you up in the future.
Welcome to the board! Hugs.
