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,

I started thinking about it when I was about 5 years old because I always felt different and played with other girls. I did not start dressing until my teen years though. If I were born in this day and age, I would have transitioned at puberty for the full affect. I have kept my transition under wraps for years because of work and family. I really love the many different clothing styles that women can wear without any one really saying anything bad about what they wear! Some say women don’t wear pants….take a good look around,I tell them! I wear skirts or pants suits however I feel like it at that time! Clothes can make the women! Diana
I realised from about 9 years old when some older girls had me and a buddy wear party dresses as part of a pretend game. From that day onwards i started to dress in my mothers skirts and nighties whenever i was alone at home. I even walked up the street on a couple of occasions and nearly got caught on a few occasions. Toady i am 55 and still dress whenever i get the chance and even have my own dress maker …yay. Today i would love to spend most of my time living as a women but sadly its not possible …..Lovies Elaine
Our stories are so similar …oh my word.

I found out when I was 5 years old. I’ve struggled with it for 30 years and just recently accepted it almost a year ago and started researching it heavily. I just recently came out to my wife and family about a week ago. I’m straight and am only attracted to woman. I just always felt like I should have been born a girl.
🙂 Hi, your very beautiful. I feel the same way too. Sexy. It feels great and liberating to know and especially letting it out. I wish u the best !
Thank you very much Daniella Veruca I really appreciate that, it means a lot to me. I still have so much to learn. And yes once I finally came out about it, it was so freeing for me
I found out I was a girl when I was 10, I dressed up in my mom’s clothes and makeup when I could, then started dressing in my sisters clothes when nobody was around, my sister used to dress me up too, one time I did my outside chores in one of my sisters bras, went trick or treating at haloween all dressed up at 15 and again at 20, I dress up when I can, Im currently transitioning and once I can pass no problem, I will be a Woman full time, my only regret is not doing this sooner, I told my Wife not too long ago of how I felt but I told her I won’t let it take over my Life, however It will hopefully soon as Im now 43 and can’t wait to dress up and live as a woman full time if it means loosing everyone as im miserable as a men
I always remember wanting to be more like a girl, but never really thought about it like that back then. I guess my sister used to dress me up when I was little too, but I don’t recall that. I do remember dressing up in her stuff when I was older though. I’ve worn my girlfriends thongs throughout the years too, and my wife didn’t mind it either.
As a 4 year old I used to play with a girl who lived across the road called Kathy. It was in mid 1959s. We used to play mummies and daddies and we changed placed. I put on her elasticated floral skirt and a matching bolero top. I recall it felt naughty but I loved it. Carried on from there with mums things when she was out. Truly thought it would go away when I got married but it just gets worse. In those days cross dressers were regarded as queers and it was not something you would ever admit. Jenny xxx
I was taking a bath and when I got out my moms night gown was on the door and at 4 years old I was very comfortable and only wanted frilly nighties after that. It was a tough pill for my mom to swallow so I did it in private. I have had female clothes in my wardrobe ever since. In secret but as I got older and became more comfortable I realized it was the norm and I am very happy with who I am and only have women’s clothing my wife and I actually share all our clothes it is awesome.
As for me and knowing about when i was a women comes with a story. I was about like five or so at the time and when i was going to school we had this day called wacky day. The idea was the kids came in with something that was not of the normal. Like shirts inside out or underwear on the head that type of thing. Any way so as a joke i thought it would be wacky if i was dressed as a little girl for the day. So my mother got me a green dress and did my hair shoes everything. When i got there they at first did not know who i was. But when it was explained they introduced me as a female and i got to play and talk to the girls all day. To which when i was going through my day i was very happy and doing crafts and other activities that were for the little girls then boys. Although when they day came to the end and i left and got undressed back to what i was. That was a very sad day in my life cause i wanted to be dressed up and treated like one of the girls. So it was that day that i knew i wanted to be female some where deep inside of me. It took a long time for me to finally become who i am now but the point of the story was that was when i knew i wanted to be a women. I hope that answered the question.
