Hello from a late starter

[Edelia]

Hi everyone,

My name is Edelia and I'm a trans woman just beginning my social transition. I just joined, on a recommendation.

I won't share too many details about myself for now, but I wanted to say hello and mention that this space seems reassuring: seeing people with such different paths, not only those who started younger.

Take care, everyone.

[Finally Anna]

¡Hola, Edelia!
¡Bienvenida!

I also hatched late and I find Susan's a very welcoming place.

[Maid Marion]

Hi Edelia!

Welcome.

I like to socialize on the golf course.

I just started going to the beach where I can wear my more revealing outfits in an appropriate setting.

You won't be alone here there are a lot of people starting late in life. I am in my 50's. Welcome!

Thank you, that really helps. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who started this journey at this stage of life, most spaces I've seen feel geared toward younger people.

I'm over 60 and came out to myself and my wife earlier this year. Age is just a number, it is behaviour and perception that matters.

We are definitely an older crowd on here I would say, I'm 50 but there are girls on here from all ages, most of us have been around the block a bit!

Hey Marion!

Thanks for the welcome.

I'm with you on the beach — but honestly, give me a quiet, empty stretch of sand any day. No audience needed.

[Edelia]

You won't be alone here there are a lot of people starting late in life. I am in my 50's. Welcome!

Thanks! That's actually really reassuring.

And hey, 50s is the new 30s, right? 😉
Glad to be here.

Hey Sarah, lovely to meet you too! 😊
Thanks for the warm welcome, sounds like a great mix of people here. I'll definitely jump in when I've got something to say, or just to say hi.

See you around!

I'm over 60 and came out to myself and my wife earlier this year. Age is just a number, it is behaviour and perception that matters.

That takes real courage, at any age, but especially after so many years together.

I came out to my ex-wife 15 years ago, so I know a bit about how that feels. It's not easy, but you're right: age really is just a number. What matters is living authentically, however and whenever you can.

Proud of you for taking that step. Better late than never, and honestly, "late" is just a social construct 😉

Welcome Edelia,

I finally worked out who I was and came out to myself at 78. I'm not out to anyone else, I'm far too old to rock the boat now.

But better late than never.

Welcome Edelia,

I finally worked out who I was and came out to myself at 78. I'm not out to anyone else, I'm far too old to rock the boat now.

But better late than never.

I get it. I'm 55 and I'm still making mistakes, putting my future on the line. Can't stop.

But what you did at 78? That's huge. You don't have to tell anyone. Just knowing yourself is enough.

Big hug.
