I am a late-blooming transgender woman/crossdresser, a 67 years old scientist who retired last year, but who is keeping busy with new projects. I am happily married with two grown children, and although consciousness of my transgender state has pervaded my life since childhood, over the last couple of years it has become more acute, leading me to want to be more involved socially and publicly as a crossdresser. I live in the Boston area.
