GenderLife Forum: The Information Exchange

Transgenderist Virginia Prince was born in 1912 and is still alive. Probably the oldest living person I know personally, who completed transition longest ago, is Lynn Conway. She was born in 1938 and transitioned in 1968.

Oh, is the TS community saying nice things about "Virgina" Prince again, even after the horrible things that person said about transsexual women? Or have those statements been recanted and apologized for? I must admit, I don't keep up as much as I used to.

I don't know if the TS community is saying nice things about Prince. I was just answering a question without expressing an opinion.

Oh for shame, outing Lynn's age...
A girl never tells her true age.

Me, i'm 21

Oldest now or oldest at the time of transition?

I know one in her late 80s.

I was leaning to their current age.

And that's cool an octogenarian.

She was in WW2, serving in the RAF, not in a plane but in a sort of naval platform that gave support to the fighters. She's explained that to me but my war terminology is lacking to really understand the exact role of that ship.

She's been married for over 60 years. Her spouse is also in her 70s, although her health is failing. They are both very sweet people, with a lot of stories to tell.

I have met one who is now 72. I am not sure when she left 21 so her age may be open. She had her srs at 68 years.

I know two in their sixties, and more approaching that age.

I enjoyed being 21 so much, I've done it twice!

As for the oldest transwoman I know...I met a woman in Montreal last year, who had her surgery just as I was being discharged. She was 66 then.

I've met one who transitioned in her 60s, had surgery at 71 and is now 74. I know two who transitioned and had surgery over 30 years ago but they are both about 60 now.

My friend Kathy anne had her surgery 1 month before me in Dec 2001 she is now 73 -
Her friend Caroline just had her surgery in Thailand and I think she's about 70.

Kerry is well into her sixties but had her surgery when she was in her 20's and looks absolutely natural - she owns a clothing business.

There's lots of us oldies abut (I'm 55) but the really oldies are few and far between

My final friend of venerable age had her surgery this year and is 67 - she still works full time and lives on a small yacht

This is a social experiment right Maggie? You post these little questions in a public area to see just how may responses will be forthcoming and you have a class of students running analysis of how many twists and turns the thread takes? How are we doing so far?

I'm not sure who is the oldest because she is stealth so I'm not sure she is Ts. Is there something relevant in this survey?

A friend of mine is 77 or 78 and transitioned about the same time I did. I know at least two other local transwomen in their 70s.

Latley, I feel like it's me. :-)

(hehe, couldnt resist)

Lol! I'm on the plane Char, I'll be there in 24 hours and you are in so much trouble.

I knew you had to be on vacation! WB SB

I'm feeling very old, myself, today.

No comment except no comment!

hehehe!!!

Oh I'm just wacky busy Deena love . Still , lol, Char is pushing me towards the rocking chair just a bit fast but I'm loving being "old". I am waiting for the mythical respect that is supposed to come with age though

Bitches don't get no respect! All they get is homage - I should know

Homage is goods enough I guess

Well don't get too wrapped up in the concept. We'll have nun of that at the Abbey. Aww Pew.
