Dear Elsa, We have many members here who are in their sixties. Just turned 60 myself. Think there are a lot of pros in transitioning as a young person (teens and 20's) and as a senior (60 +). A very young person is very elastic physically, and an older person has naturally transitioned (whether they want to or not) into a gender neutral state. Both situations are amenable to easier transitioning. On a psychological basis, young people have not started a career, and older people often are retired or have had a very successful career behind them, so the company and customers really need their services and as a result are more flexible to being accepting. Hope this helps. Yours truly, Monica

Very well said, Elsa. We do have real challenges and fears, but with each one we gain momentum and freedom on the other side of those obstacles. I also heartily agree that we must live our lives now, while we can, before we are near the end and expire with regrets of what could have been. Sure, I wish I’d done more and transitioned sooner. Now though, I’m just happy to be on this journey.
