The age that is too old is the same day they put you underground.  It is never too late and for someone with dysphoria, HRT is a godsend.

No, you're able to start hormones at any age
and despite what some people say it'll work at any age

There are a lot of considerations to hormones and transition but don't let age be one... Never too late to get on the right path in life

I started about 10 years ago and I'm 67 now.  Still taking hormones with no problems. I believe the only reason I'm still here is because of hormones and transition. I wouldn't let age stop anyone unless a doctor has a specific medical reason.

interesting, are you too old or too young to be who you are. if the angel of death came to my bedside and raised the sickle and said the I could be the woman that I cried for to be since I was born . but I would only be allowed 15 minutes of life beyond that time that was already ordained to be the woman I am would I accept it.

I'm 62 and started recently.  My therapist indicated there are patients in that office over 70 on HRT.

I started at 35.  Estrogen is the fountain of youth...  What you do is take your time on hormones and add 10, then average that number with your current age and you get your new age...  lol...  So I'm really like 23 now.  ;)

I like that equation, that would make me just over 34  ;D

I started HRT at age 65 and I feel so much better now. I love the feeling of estradiol.
