I’m recently transitioned mtf. I’m aged 58 and been on HRT just over a month now. I feel happier, affirmed in my truer self and enjoying life truly for the first time I can ever remember, with no doubts, diminished mental state or wellbeing. I have no more feelings of loss or unconformity of how I look or feel deep within me any more. I know I have a long way to go, but I’m on my journey at last.

Im 70 also and I love my  new life.  I'm sooo happy that people out there realize how stigmatized we are.  Thank you for helping us.

I'm a 33 year old transwoman. I'm so happy I came across this conversation. The fact that the information provided is actually useful to both cis and trans females. I love that we can all be in the same conversation seeking health knowledge around the same concept.

I'm 70 but I look so much younger, spironolactone progesterone and estrogen

I started hrt at 57 and haven't experienced anything but positive effects on my health ever since. I'm 64 now.

I'm also post operative since 2023, so if I went off estradiol altogether I would imagine that I wouldn't feel well with so little of any sex hormones circulating.

I think I'm pretty low risk for cardiovascular issues, and it's good to hear that my breast cancer risk probably hasn't increased by much either.

I'm thankful also that my doctor was willing to add bioidentical progesterone to my regime as well, for the many health benefits that brings.

This is such an awesome presentation.  I'm in my late 60s and have been fighting gender dysphoria for most of my life.  I am definitely going forward with HRT.  So many of my concerns were covered and in the comment section,  I found three "older" folks who started late in life, and they're doing great.  Thanks so much for everything!!

Thank you for this video 🙏 I’m ftm transgender & have recently come off testosterone due to losing my hair.
Coming off T has been horrendous… like an early menopause.
More research & more funding for older transgender people is so important 👍

Thank you, for this Video... I am 63yrs Transgender women, it's has been a journey in my HRT'S going on 4yrs now and also haveing gender affirming surgeries... thank you for addressing the older Transgender community, found this very educational

Thank you for this video. At age 66 I began HRT with estradiol patches (in March 2021). In the fall of '21 I switched to the gel, but in June of 2022, my endocrinologist noted that I wasn't absorbing it so she switched me back to the patches. My latest blood test showed an estradiol level of 110, which is the target range my endocrinologist sought for me. I have also been on progesterone, 100 mg daily, for a year now.

You’re both awesome for making a video about this topic. Thank you! 🙏🏻

Am I considered aging transgender woman, I’m 49 years old I’m already talking about to surgeon doctor for my vaginalplasty❤

Interesting video. I am in my 70's and have been on HRT since 2023. Gender affirming care is now available, you're treated with dignity and it's mostly covered by insurance. Procedures like orchiectomy's and scrotectomy's are available. 25 years ago, all this was unthinkable. You actually worried about being arrested while out "en femme". You also worried about violence  via transphobia or just toxic males who felt they had to 'act out'. I can finally be the version of "me" I've wanted to be since I was an adolescent.

I am senior transitioning person. This is so important to here. Thank you

I’m a 67 year-old transsexual woman I’ve been on HRT for 25 years on injections and also on progesterone I saw the most development after I started taking progesterone four years ago doctor dropped the ball and give it to me, and most of my changes started four years ago, even at my age that I am I had a stroke and heart attack about a year ago that did damageafter I took the last Covid vaccine within two weeks. I’ve never had trouble with estrogen until then. thank you for this video.

Without the male gonads, isn't Estrogen needed to protect the bones - to avoid osteoporosis? So HRT will be needed for Trans women in old age?
I've met a young trans girl who has broken bones 5 times by age 21 because she was on blockers without HRT. This is not a future I'd wish on anyone.

Well said ❤

As a trans woman at 61 I cant even imagine stopping estrogen therapy. I understand its necessary to start and develop the body to help us align but with me and from what I have learned  in talking to others like me the psychological effects are a massively positive impact on our lives.I personally have dealt with deep set depression since the age of 7 and I b have been on every anti depressant and mood stabilizer there is and two weeks of estradiol therapy lifted my depression.

Thank you for this great information

I resumed HRT at 60 after a 13 year hiatus, choosing the patch as the safest delivery mechanism. Please note that insurance companies often don't cover the patch or may require a co-pay, they prefer to push less expensive mediums like oral and injections. If your insurance doesn't cover it, request a formulary exception due to health risks, citing things like age and any other risk factors.

I will die of whatever  condition, before getting my oestrogen removed. It ha silenced the pain.
