Thanks for starting it Cheryl Ann. I too am one of the "seniors"; I'll be 67 next month. I came "out" to my wife almost 2 years ago and after a bit of a rough patch all is pretty smooth now and she accepts my dressing quite well.
I am doing what might be called a non-surgical transition. I am on Estradiol patches for GID and for high-T reasons. I had testicular cysts that seemed related to a high T level last year and was able to get the Estradiol prescription that addressed both problems. Sexual relations have been minimal for years so the 'chemical castration' effects of estradiol aren't an issue. Reducing the excess T really had a calming effect on my mood.
What I really enjoy is the freedom to dress around home and the ability to go out in a "plain Fem" mode of dress as well. It is a chance to express myself that I wasn't able to do for decades. Age and retirement are a positive development here.
Best wishes,
