Welcome aboard, ClaraKay! It sounds like you have given this quite a bit of thought and it is great to hear that your wife is supportive of your desire/need/urge to explore this side of yourself. That can make things a lot easier. I think our bodies function much better when there is less stress on us, so hopefully that will translate into healthy growth for you. As AnnabelP says, it is never too late to start something like this. No, you won't likely end up with the body of a 25 year old, but you should be able to experience the physical changes you have been wanting to feel. I agree with your thoughts about the evidence supporting not being TS. I believe the same thing in my own case. I crossdream also (infrequently), and I bet a lot of people do. Crossdreaming doesn't have to involve sexual acts. I'm guessing you are simply another wonderful example of a person who is more complex than the clean-edged boxes society likes to draw around people.It's great to see! Thank you for coming out from the background, and I look forward to reading about your progress going forward. It's always cool to get a glimpse of another unicorn in the rainbow forest!
