I am a 63 old widower. Like others, I dressed up in my mother's clothes when around 12. In grade school I loved the little girls and their pretty dresses and wished to be like them. I wa born with undesended testicles and was given testosterone shots after I was 10 to see if they would drop. This didn't work and I had surgery at age 11. Now they give surgery at 6 months so this makes me wonder if this has contributed to my feminine feelings.
I still dressed at home with discarded clothes until I went into the air force. Then went to college , got married, fathered 3 girls and my crossdressing urges receded until after my wife died. It seems now that I need to present as a women at least 2 to 3 times a week. My feminine feelings are getting stronger all the time and wonder where it will lead me? So far I go out during the evening, mainly to clubs. I came out to GG friend of mine and she invites me to her place to dress and give me pointers. Friday night we got dressed and I thought she would call a cab. Instead, we went to the bus stop and waited for the bus. A really big deal for me, dressed enfemme and taking a city bus. A few looks but a fun experience. I do go shopping in guy mode and try on clothes. The girls are so sweet and ask me how it fit and if I liked it.
My VA psychologist knows about me and very supportive wherever it might take me. Siince I am older, my options are a lot less. I might just crossdress and hope my needs don't become greater. I found this site and have loved reading the forum and connecting to other girls stories. It sure helps to not feel alone.
Hugs to all, Samantha
Hi Samantha
Welcome to the forum, honey.
Well, that were exciting moments with the bus, I think you were a bit nervous at that time.
But, the first time is always the hardest, so it can only become easier for you.
You've come to a supporting site, that means that you can always have support in times that you need it.
Now you're a sister of a worldwide community, so you're never alone.
Because of the time difference there is always someone on line.
Please, keep us updated about your progress, hope's and fears.
Hugs

Hello Samantha,
I just found your intro.
It is good to meet you.
I am in 60+ and have been on hrt for about a year and a half now.
Like you I am what they call a late bloomer.
Why hold back? I figure I will start the journey and see what happens.
So far I has been a blast and my depression has lifted. My life is allot better then before hrt.
And, love this, I pass most of the time with no makeup or female attire.
Oh I am still married and have 3 kids and 4.5 grandkids.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Hugs,
Jillieann
