We've dealt with this earlier on the forum - also with regards to why there seem to be so relatively few "older" trans*women - at least in my part of the world.
I've had trans*lovers who were older than me, same age and younger. The same thing goes for cis*lovers.
But due to society's "over-sexualization" of trans*woman (they are only good for sex and must be young and gorgeous for the porn-industry or prostitution) it can be hard for some to cope with age.
Add to that the lack of real educational and job-opportunities, and what comes up is a pretty bleak future for many trans*women - a future they cannot deal with unless they have almost super-human powers.
Add to that also family-pressure and you have a pretty poisonous coctail that among other things lead to the highest suicide-rate in society, depression, alienation and misery.
It's no fun at all... but the "older" trans*women that I've met and also count among my best friends here are strong - and they are just as feminine, lovely and sincere as they've always been. Trans*women age just as gracefully as cis*women - there's really no difference there.
But again due to the adult-industry and their lust for quick money no matter what the human sacrifices, nobody outside the "inner-circle" of either trans*women or the people around them will ever know.
Time for a change!
