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,

Not up until maybe a few years ago.
But, I should have known better. When I was a young boy. I would always put on my moms dresses, etc.. In secret. I have always had an obsession with panties. So, when I first put a pair on. I was hooked. I love them. I wear them everyday now. I don’t even know the last time I wore a pair of men’s underwear. I keep them around, just in case I might go over to a woman’s house.
Up until about 5 or 6 years ago. I started dressing as a woman in private as much as possible. I love putting my bras on and my breast forms.
I wish I would have started sooner…
When i was much younger than I am now, but I was always too timid to act on my feelings. Now in the present, I am seeking transition. Very, Very liberating.
when i was 2 or 3 , i always wanted to play with dolls, not toy plastic soldiers, my mom often dressed me in pink, and since i was home with her i wore many sun dresses, (my tantrum . request)
then later on i knew too that i would be a lesbian. and still am
Your story sounds so much like mine, Robyn. I knew I was femme by age 3. An old girlfriend helped me realize I’m also a lesbian. I’ll be 64 in a couple of months and didn’t start to come out until just a few years ago. It’s been SO liberating.
I was 8 and mom seen me sleeping in her heels and other things. She told me she wanted a girl as her second child and would have named her Kimberly so she was very supportive of me dressing as a girl and helped me out so much.
I knew when at age 5 that I was a girl when I asked Mother when I could wear beautiful clothing like her and how crushed and upset I was when she said you can’t your a boy and boys don’t wear dress and high heels.
i was 5 i realized i wanted to be a girl. it wasn’t till later i found out i could.
I realized it at the age of 12.
i used to try on my sisters dresses at about 8. As a teenager I always had a girlfriend but performed oral sex on a lot of men. I felt feminine doing that. I had wives in adulthood but working on Wall St & being married prohibited my feminine side exploration. Now retired
& single I dress & identify female everywhere.
It was the same for me Miss Kristin! Once I became sexually active, I had the GF’s but, was very attracted to men also…I may have dressed like a boy outwardly but, I had long hair, a very slight fem built and at 14 I had a respectable A-cup like the rest of the girls! (they actually started growing at 12…I still wonder how I would have looked like in mid 20’s, had started hormones at that age?) It’s kinda funny how many people mistook me for a girl growing up! Even more so in my teens. lol I would sneak off and preformed oral on the boys and men (they were all horny and on the down-low) in the neighborhood growing up to! It made me feel more feminine as well! In part because whenever I was with the men, it was the female me who wanted to pleasure them like their proper GF. I wore panties everyday anyways but, when I was with them at their places alone, I would bring a bag full of my essentials an dress up like the woman I was inside since the beginning…Oh to be young again and know what we do now….
I started dressing properly at 65. I told the wife quite early on and she,having set some ground rules,has accepted who I am when I transform. I am a transvestite not a trans sexual and i love life as a man and absolutely adore being Ava and out and about with my new and hugely increased circle of friends and find no conflict with swapping bewteen the two persona. Ava is a huge influence on my life and has helped me immensely with a battle with poor health. I doubt that I can ever turn back now and I look forward to growing old disgracefully as Ava whenever I can.
