No it is not possible to lactate into old age. Hormones levels begin to drop significantly around the mid to late 40s. This drop means no ovulation, no periods, no chance of pregnancy,and thus, no possibility of lactation. You may have heard women or physicians/nurses refer to "old eggs" and in a sense, this becomes very true in peri-menopause. In post-menopause, "eggs", "ovulation", pregnancy and lactation cease to exist.

If a woman who is post menopause begins bleeding or having breast discharge (not lactation even if the fluid might look similar), she should see her doctor (sooner rather than later).

Can shemale lactate?

Any mammal can lactate with the right amount of hormones and development. So in short answer to your question, yes, it is quite possible for shemales (men) to lactate if given the correct dose or estrogen, progestin, and/or estradiol for an extended period of time and then given the hormone Prolactin and oxytosin. Even you could lactate if given this hormone regiment. This is not to say ALL shameles can lactate because many breast implants will destroy the milk ducts.
