Hey, all!
As the subject says: Finally!
After an on-and-off battle of dysphoria (not too heavy, but time takes its toll) for almost 50 yrs, I reached a point where I just could not continue. I had to break out, so here I am 62 years young, finally out of my shell since a few months back and what a wonderful feeling it is.
Found this site just a few days ago and it seems to be just the right place for me.
:) 💕

Hi Anna!
I'm the same age as you are! I have two senior season passes to golf courses so I get green fees waived! I'm already up to thirty rounds of golf in New England. Just played another 18 hole round this morning with three other seniors, Nobody seems to mind that I'm wearing female clothes.
Today I wore a yellow Jofit skirt and colorful golf shoes to go with my white/green/red print top with sunsleeves.
