A Question only for MTF Crossdressers!! How old are you?

[sissystephanie]

I know one is not supposed to ask lady her age, but since this thread is directed to MTF crossdressers it should be O.K. What I am interested in is how many of us CD's are in their 70's or older!

I myself am currently 79. I started crossdressing at age 6, and except for 4 years in the military and another 5 year period, have dressed ever since then. I crossdress, at least partly, almost every day. I am a widower, having lost my wife 6 years ago. My 2 children know that I crossdress and don't care, but they don't want to see me dressed! What about the rest of you "ladies" that are older?

[Crissy Kay]

I will only admit to being over fifty!!!

[Karren H]

Wow!! I'll be 60 in April. And still paying ice hockey every week.. Don't plan to get THAT old! Lol. J/k....

[RADER]

I am 65 , and still dressing, enjoying more that I am now retired.
Rader

[RenneB]

Although in brain years I feel 30 somethin, but for revolutions of this the third rock around your star, I've done it over 50 times.

I just wish youth wasn't wasted on the young. .... LOL..

Renne.....

[Debra Russell]

66 and counting -- but who's counting -- feel much, much younger when I'am dressed and think that way too............Debra

[Kristy_K]

I won't tell you my age but it is between 56 & 58.

[Annie M]

Very interesting so far, I'm 62 and have been crossdressing from about age 8.
Makes me wonder more and more about DES sons.

[jayme357]

Closer to 80 than any other numberb

[Eryn]

My male self is 54. I'm a few years younger than that. Aren't we all! :)

[Launa]

Not in my 70's yet but I won't stop dressing now.

[Katelyn B]

Well, seems so far I'll be in the minority at "only" 32, though as a fully formed person Katelyn is only just over a year old, prior to that its too depressing too think about

[jessee]

Well today I'm 54 but tomorrow I'll be 55. Yea, cake & ice cream!

[bojo2k8]

Wow. Here i am at a seemingly baby-like 20

[Alice Torn]

Fifty seven to be honest.

[kellylynn_31]

Forty seven years young.

[Barbara Ella]

I am 65 years, but only 4 mos as an MTF crossdresser. Talk about being screwed up age-emotionally. I know I should dress age appropriate, but my young female wants the mini skirt, 44 DD, and 6 inch platforms with fishnet .JUST ONE TIME MOM, I PROMISE.. (so jealous of the years I missed, and yes Annie, I have begun thinking about DES sons, I fit all items but the finger length, but have weird toes)

Babes

[darci.c]

I guess I'm one of the younger ones. My 27th is coming up in a few weeks.

[docrobbysherry]

The only thing that REALLY COUNTS is; how old your fem alter ego is!

Sherry will be 16 this year! After she sees Sherry's party pics, Molly Ringwald will eat her heart out!

[Karinsamatha]

I am 41 and feel and I think look much younger than that dressed.

[Stephanie-L]

My male self is 52, and since the two sides are inseperably intertwined, and I have always had a clue that I was different than most boys, Stephanie is also 52, though she really wants to be 22..................Stephanie

[lauraabdl]

Well I'll see 60 on my next b-day in July, but as they say age is only a number, you are as young as you feel and boy do I feel young, still rock mini skirts, 38DDs and 5" heels to church, a girls got to have fun.:heehee:

[Acastina]

Well today I'm 54 but tomorrow I'll be 55. Yea, cake & ice cream!

Happy Birthday! Watch the cake and ice cream, though, if you still want to fit in your favorite clothes...

[Acastina]

Sixty three, going on twenty five...both of me are the same age.

-Audrey

[Leilani]

[Diana Bain]

[Meg East]

At the end of the month I'll turn 62 in Hawaii. I feel half my age.

[Marleena]

I'm 57 in guy mode, 39 in girl mode. *sigh*

[Jan Michell Collins]

I'll be 51 in March !!! The best thing about cding is that I don't have to worry about gravity taking over my boobs !!! And (well ok2) if I get tired of what I have I can go out and buy some more that I like better !!!!

[grace52]

I'am 59 but feel 40 when dressed

[nvlady]

I won't disclose my age, but I'll never see 67 again.

[Nancie64]

Cracked the upside down 99 (66). I have been dressing since I was about 15 but only in the last 10-12 years has Nancie ventured outside the house. Have had a half dozen makeovers and loved it. Don't always feel confident going out in public but have taken many walks during the day and at night but only where it's safe. Love Vegas and plan to have a venture in March just haven't decided where to have my makeup done. Word to the young, Dress and enjoy it the days go by to fast. Like to dress like she's in her 20's or 30's. Shorter skirts and nice heels, check my pic, from Vegas last March. Have fun.

[Cynthia Anne]

I'm old enough to know better! But too damn young to care! Hugs!

[Elana]

I just turned 29, I'm one of the younger ones looks like

[Janelle_C]

:battingeyelashes:I'm 53 but Shy is about 29. I feel so much better. I was sad about thinking of all the years I wasted only dressing here and there but now I dress alot more. See all you great girls has made me realize that I have a lot more fun ahead.:daydreaming:

[Angie G]

You have a few years on me Stephanie I'm 63 hun.:hugs:
Angie

[Julie Hall]

I am 56. Much of the time I feel around 100 but sometimes it's....150.

[Melissa.Lynn88]

I just recently turned 23. I seem to be one of the very young ones. I feel like a baby.

[DanaR]

Like Jack Benny, I'm 39 years old.

Now I'll go calculate how many anniversaries of that I've celebrated.:heehee:

[Billie Jean]

I'm 53 and will be 54 Feb 4. Billie Jean

[sarahcrossed]

im 28 and love getting pretty

[Sensei86]

Turning 26 this year.

[Rachel Mari]

I turned 55 last October.

[Ann-Marie]

59 next week but like some of the other comments my dressing reflects a much younger age, I really engoy that

[noeleena]

Hi,

As a Chateline = Lady of the Castle . im 64

...noeleena...

[Sister Rachel]

54, since you ask, ... but I dress a bit younger :)

[RachelDenise]

55 later this year. I have been dressing since age 12!

[sarahcsc]

Hello sissystephanie!

Wow, I feel so little being here but at the same time reassured to have ya'll looking out for me. But what amazes me more is the fact that you could use this forum when my mom, being barely 60 refuses to send an email due to a fear of computers! I think she just found it too complicated hence a technophobe. lol.

[Foxglove]

I'm 27, though my birth cert and passport say a lot more than that. Usual idiots in the civil service.

[jami]

The big double nickle and proud of it

[laceyjessica]

I am 45 and wish I was 20 to try this all over again

[Michelle PJ]

My grandmother used to say we get old soon and smart late. I'm 58 now and started crossdressing in earnest when I was 30 while attending graduate school. Lately, the desire to dress has become muted. Need to work on that.

[Jessica Jameson]

30 here, still wishing I was 23

[Tina T]

Didn't know there were so many quinquagenarians on the forum: me too - 58 and trying to hide it.

[BRANDYJ]

I will be 63 on the 28th of this month. When I was about 54, I had a TG friend tell me that I looked about 38 dressed. So if that's true I'm now only 47 as a female! Yeah, I like that!

[rebecca34]

In boy-mode I'm just about still in my 30's (just!) but Becca feels about 25. Whether she looks 25 is another matter.........

xx Becca xx

[Raychel]

I am 52, but sometimes I sure do feel alot older.

[Jessie29]

Im 19. Another younger one but loving it all the same

[Cathy J]

Happy New Year! My male self is 80yrs old, but my femme self is whatever I feel like today. Never give up!!

hugs,

[Claire Cook]

Isn't it interesting how much younger we feel when dressed? I'm sure it's more than the makeup hiding lines. Anyway I'm 68, but when I'm dressed it's like "Hey, I'm learning all over again!" (things my mother never tought me...). Just remember the old slogan -- "When you're over the hill, you pick up speed!"

[wishing2bali]

I am in the minority at a young 30.

[Trish]

I'm now 63. I've been dressing since my early 20's, when wife got me into my first dress.

[Kaz]

What an amazing thread! Bet you had no idea what you were starting Steph...

I am not over 70... but I am an ageing 50 something girl.. but Kaz looks so much younger and enjoying things! I think I am possibly lucky... but then I worry about the picture in the attic (Dorian Grey metaphor).. xx

[kimdl93]

I'm in my late 40s...Very late!

[teri222]

I'm 66 and been dressing since in my teens. It's even better now than back then. Probably
because I no longer feel I have to hide my feminine side. --- Terilynn, Boonville, Mo.

[Stephanie Michelle]

I will be 55 this year. Feels great!

[Joanna41]

I'm a proud 41 and hopefully still looking good....lol

[Stephanie47]

I'm almost 65. I've been a cross dresser since about fifteen. However, truly and totally dressed en femme the last five years, i.e., wig and undergarments under a dress.

[Renee]

I will turn 60 next month, but that is only the number of years I have been alive. My cd age is more like 35. I started dressing when I was 7, so have been at it for almost 53 years.

[countrygirl]

I am 30 years old, I will be 31 May 30th.

[Marcia Sue]

I will be 65 in six weeks. Have been dressing for most of my life and love it.

[Julie1123]

33, I think... I keep forgetting.

[Leann James]

76 and still kicken, goin on 30. Ha Ha.

[KrystalA]

I'm pretty much like Acastina. I'm 65, but when dressed I feel like I'm in my twenties. I just wish I LOOKED like I'm in my twenties...LOL

[Alice B]

I will be 70 in April. God I can't be that old!

[z.kasia]

Well today I'm 54 but tomorrow I'll be 55. Yea, cake & ice cream!

Happy Birthday, have a beautiful day. :)

[z.kasia]

I'm 45 and dressing since I was around 12 (don't remember the exact age).

[z.kasia]

Wow!! I'll be 60 in April. And still paying ice hockey every week.. Don't plan to get THAT old! Lol. J/k....

Your teeth look great, especially for a 59 year old hockey player. :heehee:

[carhill2mn]

If one were to plot these ages on a graph I would be far to the right as I am 73.

[Wendae]

70 Thank God for make up!

[sissystephanie]

I certainly thank all of you for responding, but I really wonder how many of you read the OP? I was really looking for those who are 70 and over. It seems that CD's of all ages have answered! Oh well, that is life with crossdressers!! LOL!

[longirl]

I Am 31 and will be 32 in April

[Ruby John]

I guess I qualify being almost 72. Always glad to have another Birthday when I consider the alternative. I look better as Ruby with every year. Did I mention my eyes are going? Ruby

[NathalieX66]

Started CD'ing when I was 5 or 6, fantasized about being a test girl (boy) dressing as a girl at a nearby all-girls catholic school when I was a teen, did plenty of closet CD'ing in college, went out no more than 3 times in my 20's, closet CD'ing at home in my 30's, discovered websites like urnotalone.com, then became highly self-loathing, I purged all my girl clothing, and went into deep denial because I wanted to advance my career, and establish a better social life, and by age 42 I realized that my urge to be the other gender never went away, no matter how hard I tried. Being in the company of other women has only made it worse, mainly because I became profoundly jealous of their ability to express themselves in the way they dress. I wanted to be exactly like them., I owned up to myself, and started going out in public in my femme self, and came out to a number of people, and, now at age 45, I'm living my dream which has now become a reality.
Well, that's my life's story.

[Tess]

Its nice to be to young for something, like this topic which is for 70+. Only 67 myself so I have a long way to go to qualify.

[Samantha_Smile]

29 goin on 19.
Well, theres some time to be made up for in my fashion tastes :)

[Crysten]

I'm 294 in dog years. I think. Woof.

[kathie225]

In a few short months we start 73 years.

[S. Lisa Smith]

I'm 62 and still surfing!

[daviolin]

63 for this old broad. Daviolin

[Andrea Renea]

54 years old and loving it. Lol

[Janine cd]

Stephanie, You and I are sisters of the same generation. I'm 72 and have been crossdressing since I was 11. That doesn't account for the times I tried on my mom's clothes when I was 6 or 7 and only remember wearing her robe and shoes.

[barbie lanai]

Turned 66 last month. Retired and dress nearly every day. Lots more fun than work.

[Mercury]

I'm just a kid over here, only 24!!

[Cary]

I'm 38 1/2 :) Some days I dress my age and some days I don't.

[naye]

I just had my second sweet sixteens.

[Tara D. Rose]

I will just ask you all to guess my age.

[Fiona Lindum]

I am 53 and have been dressing since I was 18.

[erickka]

My male self is 51, but Erickka remains young at heart!

[stefcd1]

56 here. When I am fully dressed I look and feel like a woman in her 40s. It is amazing what makeup does for you. I try to dress my age which mean longer dresses and skirts. The one in my avatar is the shortest dress I have.

[Kathy Smith]

The male side of me is about 59.333
Kath is much younger of course!

stefcd1: I know exactly what you mean. I don't have any really short skirts though. The world isn't prepared for a shock like that. :-(

[PhillyGuy2Girl]

I'm going to be 47 a week from today (yes Friday the 13th) but when I'm dressed femme, I look alot younger so I am told by my wife.

[RileyEvans]

I'm 25, been dressing since about 7 or 8.

[Acastina]

I got curious after going through the responses and decided to crunch the numbers. The data include only definitive ages, so if you're still 39 like Jack Benny or whatever else, you're not in here. And, of course, this only counts those who responded to the thread. Pretty much looks like a mid-life preponderance.

Most Members by Decade: Fifties, 39; Sixties, 25
Most Members of One Age: 55 (7)
Youngest Member: 19
Oldest Member: 80

Here are two charts of us, one showing ages year-by-year (with last column being totals for decades) and the other a distribution by decades. I couldn't find a way to make a bell curve of it and don't want to spend the rest of the day doing so...

Hugs,
Annie

[Giselle(Oshawa)]

another 50 something(actually 56) cd, just recently out to my wife of 27 years,
we are working at it and hopefully 2012 will be a good year for both of us.

[PantyhoseFan]

I turned 40 a few months ago. I also think I look a lot younger when I dress up though.

[elizabethamy]

after being away from this thread for a while, i'm amazed to come back and find my youthful 56 right in the middle of the pack! thanks for helping me regain my lost youth...though it sure would have been a lot less complicated to discover this about myself many years ago!

[PantyhoseFan]

I will just ask you all to guess my age.

I learned a long time ago not to try and guess a woman's age.... All I'll say is that I think you look great!

[christina s]

Turned 20 last month . While accepting this side of myself is still a roller coaster i promised myself in these next ten years Christina is going to have to be part of me that i come to accept and hopefully can embrace all the time .

[daine]

65 and started when I was 8.

[Danica]

54 and enjoying it more and more! Been dressing since 7 or 8 I suppose.

[stephanieg]

32 and turning 33 tommorrow

[Cassy]

I am 55 and have been crossdressing for 17 years.

[Starr]

i am 58 and been dressing on and off since i was a teenager... but as i have gotten older i seem more open about.. i enjoy being me..

[Jeannie]

I am 61 newly retired and loving it. I have been dressing on a regular basis for about 21 years now ever since I came out to my very wonderful any loving wife. No one else knows but her and she is really an angel about it. I have been sneaking and doing it since I was about 8 or 9 yrs old. Did you ever have a feel any guilt about it. I did and it was almost unbearable until now since I told my wife. Such a weight was lifted on that day.

[Brynn_A]

Borm in January of 1959, first dressed in October of 1964 (Thanks Mom, wherever you are). I've lost and found myself more often than I care to consider. So, here's a Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to me! May I never lose this girl again.

[SaraTV]

I guess I'm one of the younger ones. My 27th is coming up in a few weeks.
About the same here, still learning at 29.

Started at around 10, although I'm not entirely sure.

[Genny B]

I'm only 53 but am often mis guessed for someone in their sixties! Yeah, that's not a mis-type. It was nice when I was 16 and getting served, but now... Oh well.

[EllieBellie]

20 here, and I'm hoping sometime this year I'll gather up the courage to go out xD

[rachaelsloane]

I'm 61 today, but tomorrow will be 62, but fortunately, Rachael is muuccchhhhhh younger.

[Michael 54]

I am 57 and started when i was 14

[Keely]

I'm 60 and loving every minute of it.

[Juanita O]

I am 57 in June I will be 58.

[CindyT]

Wow! I must say all you gals who are in your 50's and 60's easily look 20 years younger in your pics!!!! I am 53, gonna be 54 this summer, been dressing since I was about 5 or 6....

[Anna Abwaerts]

Will be 28 in three months.

[Patsy]

Make that a double thank you. What a pleasant surprise. So at 56 I'm still in my prime really. A bit of a Cougar really. Don't need to take up knitting just yet. Anyway when the age spots come I'll be a leopard, and they're even more dangerous.

[Acastina]

Wow! I must say all you gals who are in your 50's and 60's easily look 20 years younger in your pics!!!! I am 53, gonna be 54 this summer, been dressing since I was about 5 or 6....

On behalf of my cohort, thanks for the kind words! It's not unusual for CDs to look younger (sometimes quite a bit) en femme. Makeup certainly helps, as does fake hair hiding receding hairlines. Then there's lighting and a nice smile and Photoshop (oops, did I say that?).

Update on the demographics in this thread (see my message #121): pretty much the same distribution, with fifties totaling 49 members so far. Median age is 56, which is also the largest group by age. My wife looked at the charts and commented on the relatively flat line across 20s-30s-40s, then the sharp spike at 50s and strong showing at 60s. My hypothesis: Those ages correspond pretty closely to starting and raising families and building careers, then exploring neglected or repressed feelings in the empty nests typical of later mid-life. Any responses?

[Laura912]

70 and a new member. Your theory on the age distribution is exactly parallel to my experience. Perhaps the increasing openess of our society and the presence of such forums like this one, are enabling older ladies who hid for so long, to come into the daylight.
Laura

[Soriya]

Started on my own at 11, 41 now, look early 30's male mode, look 20's as Soriya :)

[drushin703]

Suite: I love the idea of a long stream of life but TV, not like a tree dropping seeds but like a fern reproducing spores without seed or flower.My
life cycle is a alternation of generations......dana
