Early 60s transgender women. HRT less than six months, actively coming out to friends and family (45-0-1 so far!) a little over three months. Work is a moot point with work at home now, so I'm waiting a bit to get my name change done first. I can't wait too long, though, if I want to be one of the first 100 at work. Great local peer support group, and lots of friends, both here in the Twin Cities, and around the country. 

 

Though it might seem like I'm just starting out, I knew I was different around four or five, that I wasn't the only one in the world in my early teens, finally had a name for it around 20, and a whole lot more. I'll see if there is somewhere here that I can post a more complete history. 

 

Hugs, 

Evelyn

Hi, Evelyn.  Welcome!

 

You are in good company here.  There are quite a few of us "I always know I was different but I didn't figure out what it was or do anything about it until my 60s" types here.  I came out and started HRT at 62.  I am 66 now, post-GCS, and loving my life.

 

Regards,

Kathy

Kathy,

 

Thanks for the welcome. I know folks who started even later, and I did have it figured out a long time ago, but there are several significant plot twists in my history.

Charlize, 

 

Thanks for the welcome. Yes, in many ways it feels like a kid again. And that energy is great.

Hello @Evelyn J and welcome from another older transitioner.  Your story doesn't sound unique but I know you are!   Please jump in!

Cheers,

Welcome Evelyn! Love the score tally, hope the one will one day come around to accepting. I too knew I was "different" early on, but it took decades of suppressing & self hate to where I was finally needing to explore, accept & learn to love me just as I am, this forum has been a god send in my being able to do that. So happy transition is progressing well for you, & look forward to learning more in your story, the hint of plot twists sound intriguing.

 

Hugs!

Jani,

 

Thanks for the welcome. All of our stories are the same, but at the same time they are all different. I see where there is a forum for a more complete biography. I think I'll be going over there and filling in some parts that might not be as common.

Delcina,

 

Thanks for the welcome. A really good mutual friend has been chatting with the "tie". There was "meet me" BBQ this past weekend, and I had the tie on the invite list. I got a prompt and pleasant reply back. Unfortunately they were busy, but it was a brighter reply than in the past.

I hear you on the decades of suppressing it. No self-hate in my case, and I was only suppressing that I needed to transition, I was out and about in the world as myself since the early 80's.

As I noted on other replies, I'll be posting a more complete bio soon.

Welcome Evelyn

I'm one of a certain age as well.

Jandi,

 

I look around the group at the local peer support group, and I can count those that are older than myself, and it's usually way less than half. But those folks also seem to be some of the more active contributors. Overall, it's good to have a mix of individuals, and that we do.

      If you could talk for 1 hour about any topic without preparation, what would it be? Mine would be music especially classic rock era.

      Germany has more castles than there are McDonald's in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. Germany is estimated to have 25,000 castles, and there are around 13,000 McDonald's locations in America.   In Washington state, there's a real-life law stating it's illegal to kill bigfoot and other sasquatch-like creatures.

      DREAD f you’re anticipating something positive, you’re probably motivated to summon all your patience to wait for it—and sometimes for extended time periods. It may be counter-intuitive, yet in certain instances such waiting can itself be gratifying. Consider Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation,” the old Heinz ketchup ads, and—especially—recent research pointing in the opposite direction as regards awaiting something highly aversive. In this post I won’t be reviewing ketchup commercials, but I will be exploring some intriguing research on dread-infused anticipation.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me
