We had a plant manager that did his transition after he retired from the solder factory. He wasn't gay. He just wanted to be a woman and waited until the kids were grown and such. Yikes! He was a burly 6'5" dude with a shaved head and foghorn voice. When he showed up in a dress to visit, the receptionist (who'd been his secretary at some point) arose from her chair and went screaming down the hall. Her brain couldn't take it. I had taken a late lunch and heard her blubbering in her manager's office as I walked past an hour later after the guy left the building.
What I suspect is that there a lot of guys out there that harbor these feelings, but wait until after retirement to reveal themselves. My guess is a lot of these guys now see it as a career enhancer and we're going to see more and more of these buds being to flower earlier.
