April 28, 2017 at 9:42 AMHello Dara – I transitioned (MTF) at the age of 62, and it was the 2nd best decision I’ve ever made for myself. My 1st best decision was to get (and stay) clean and sober 29 years ago – if I hadn’t done that my transition would never have taken place. As for passing, I think I do most of the time. I’m only interested in passing as a woman and I’m thoroughly comfortable in my skin just as I am. I don’t wear makeup at all, and I’m not interested in looking like a model. I live in a smallish rural town and as far as I know everyone knows, and I’m universally accepted.
Great videos by the way!!!
