I’ve observed that many crossdressers and transgender women recognize their gender identity at a young age. For some, it’s an early realization, while for others, it unfolds later in life.
I’m curious about your experience…
When did you first realize you were female or had a feminine side? Was this something you felt as a child, or did it develop over time?
I’d love to hear your story! Feel free share your thoughts in the comments below!
Love,

2001. I was 11. I started to figure things out over the summer, then faked sick on the second Tuesday of September. I waited about 30 minutes after mom went to work, then I stole a red sweater and jean skirt from my sister’s laundry. I was still dressed when I popped on the tv and saw the same thing on every channel. I may have spent most of the day crying, but I was me at last.
I knew before I was ten that I was a girl, I would sneak into my parents bedroom and dress in my moms clothes and stand in front of their mirror and look at how pretty I was. At ten I tried to pull “it” off thinking that if I did I would turn into a girl……well it didn’t work. I hid the real me from my family out of fear and so I turned to drugs and alcohol because I was so miserable. After high school I left home joining the military (4 years of my life wasted) but I was stationed in San Francisco where I met two wonderful Women who saw the real me and helped me as much as they could. It has been a long strange trip, but now I am the real me, I started HRT 6/22/06 and have not looked back. My family disowned me and that was their choice. I live 24/7 365 as a Woman because I am a Woman.
I knew when I was 10,I knew there was something different about me,when I would get home from school I had to change I was wearing the wrong clothes.I had to keep it a secret because my parents would of thought there was something wrong with me.Living on my own was the best thing for me…
I started dressing a woman when I was 12 yrs old, sneaking into my older sisters room, and wearing her panties and bras, and some of her clothes, when my mother and father found out, they punished me, and now I dress in womens clothes all the time. I love wearing clothes and modeling them for my gentleman friends
I knew something “was off” as early as age 4. I never put 2 and 2 together until much later. Then the dress/purge cycle began. I am in transition now in my late forties and I finally feel happy in my own skin.
I knew at the age of 7…I remember getting in trouble for telling my mom how i felt.I ended up keeping it as a secret until i was 35 an now at 41 im living for me finally 🙂
