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!

I was 10 or so when I Started to cross dress with my sisters clothes.Did it 3 or 4 times.Of course, when my parents found out they discouraged it.I tend to be passive.When I yelled some say I sounded like a Girl.
I didn’t like my body then,I didn’t know why.I was thin and I guess fem.
Since being older now and more weight.I feel catching my transgender person is creating a confusing situation.
Hi, I understand the whole sounding like a girl… when speaking. I do the samething. A lot of the times I do… maybe I don’t know. But I express myself femaninely. Good to hear similar stories !
Or just mail contact , sorry forgot that , bye bye
I remember liking to play with my sister and the neighborhood girls more than the boys since I was 5. I remember the first time i tried on my sisters clothes it felt really good .. really natural but I didn’t know why. I spent the next years denying it but slipping into her clothes whenever I could. I went off to college and hoped I had outgrown it but it would always creep back into my life. I spent a lot of time reading and researching and finally came to the realization that I have a feminine side … about 30 years too late. After I came out to myself, I came out to my wife. We are still working on that.
I remember trying my ex’s pantie hose and bras that was years ago.She was much smaller lol.I go into stores now and want to try on dresses,heels etc always looking for white lace thigh highs.My late wife(passed on last June miss her terribly.)had me try on her maxi dress from Moddeals.
It was about 5 or 6 years old when i first found out. i had two older sisters and we were a poorer family. My sisters used to get cloths from the neighbors daughters of the cloths they had out grown. I would sneak some of the cloths out of the boxes and try them on. i would wear then at night in bed. Wearing these cloths just felt right to me. When my older sister moved away, she had our only upstairs bedroom, she left two drawers of cloths. i got to move into that bedroom next. I guess she knew. I have been cross dressing ever since. And it still feels right to me.
I was 4 years old when I discovered that I enjoyed dressing in nylon undies. Now live as female all the time even though my attire is mostly androgynous in public.
I first noticed the girl inside of me when i was 8 years of age. I could not help to notice the cloths of the girls in my class. not that i liked the girl but that i like their clothes. i wanted to sooo! wear their dresses and their shirks, but come not; because i was a boy. then one day i found a dress in an old abandoned house when i was 11 and secretly put it on. I felt so free wear that dress. ever since then i tried to get my hands on anything and everything girly. in the close i wear what i could wear when i could wear it, then when my mom died i stole some of dresses and wear them every night to bed. after 14 or 15 years of hiding the girl i come out and started to wear dresses and shirts every time i am not working.
As early as I can remember I wanted to be a girl. Maybe because I have 2 older sisters? At about 5 or 6 when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I said I wanted to be a girl. I soon learned to hide those thooughts and feelings. I started to crossdress at age 11 when home alone, mother’s or sister’s clothes and makeup. I hid these feeings from my first wife but came out to my current wife about a year ago. She doesn’t want anything to do with it but I attend a monthly meeting of crossdressers. Right now I’m in a hotel room by myself in a lovely pink floral sundess with contrasting pink crochet bolero sweater, 4 inch black pumps, blonde wig, french press-on nails and fully made up. I love being Joanie!
Square peg trying to fit a round hole. From age 8, then closeted crossing dressing started age 10. Never interested in violence in sports, not aggressive, played for fun and exercise. Did not really understand the my condition until later in my life. Not interested in sex, repulsed by gay males and all male’s in general attittudes, especially relating to many sex macho dudes toward most. Lonely sometimes: depressed frequently; distracted continually; goals become obsessions infrequently achieved. A sad life many people tolerate but still often there is the scorn. Well I finally grew my female breasts, changed my name, see the doctors, physicians and mental health people. It is helping me. I am laid back, friendly, understanding of other, thankfully not worried about others misunderstanding my rather different life path. Oh well I am me, not great, but not severely injured( I developed a thick skin early on), not pushing others uncomfort. What will be, will be!
