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 was about 13, just entering puberty and my boobs began to grow. I had access to my cousin’s underwear when I babysat her kids and dressed whenever the kids went to sleep. I got to love the feel of lingerie and how a bra caressed my girlie tits.
It was embarrassing all through school – I had to wear loose fitting sweatshirts all the time to hide the girls, but when I got past school and out on my own I started to under-dress all the time. I was married and hid my true feelings for many years but would sneak in a cross-dressing session whenever I could. Finally my wife caught on to my fem side and we were divorced, so I was free to go fem all the time. I only wish I had gotten to this point while I was still young enough to transition and look good enough as a girl to be attractive. Now I dress for myself and dream of what could have been……
I knew from about 5/6 years old that I believed myself to be a girl. This was something I tried to hide for many years, which unfortunately ended up with me living a secret life. Finally at the age of 32 I am beginning to accept who I am, and I am happy to say that I am ready to go down the road to full transition:)
During teenage years I was attracted to my mothers and sisters clothes, and had tried some on then, but it wasn’t until much later (last few months) that I tried it again and it shook my world and turned it right side up!!!
I am in full time since August 2011 when I’ve burnt all my male clothes on female holy fire near my house. I am MtF so I feel myself as a girl during all my life. Real TS girl feels herself as a girl despite of she in female clothes or not. But if you decide tio start transition, male clothes turns into a barrier to the new life. Now I have a very good female wardrobe incuding 130 dresses, 8 coats and 15 shoes.
I was 7 or 8 when I tried on my mother’s panties. Oh, how soft and smooth they were. I knew I was a little girl inside. Been frustrated ever since (about 65 years).
I first discovered I was a female when I was in my teen years, and put on my mothers clothing when I was the only one home. I loved the look and feel of it back them just as much as I do so now. I was also fascinated by makeup and jewellery when I was younger. Planning to start a wardrobe this year as well as makeup and jewellery. Would love to get some advice for creating outfits as well.
I wouldn’t say I’ve known since a certain point, but I do remember stealing my moms panties as far back as about 6 or 7 years old with no idea why. All though my childhood I was borrowing clothes, swimsuits and anything I considered feminine at the time. It wasn’t until my late teens that it really began, when I started to build a secret wardrobe.
Fast forward another 10 years, I expanded and purchased a wig, breast forms and makeup, which when I tried it all on blew my mind. It was amazing to see who was looking back at me. Since then it’s all been about trying to refine my look.
Hi. I’m Ashley. I’m so glad to find your blog!! I have always felt/wanted to be a girl but wasn’t able to start really exploring my girly side until last year:(. I told my BFF Joan what I felt and was glad she was supportive. I love dressing up and looking sexy with her, but am not ready to go out yet. But I recently decided to only wear girls panties anymore. I have always felt more natural and comfy in panties and girl clothes. Are there any things you would recommend that would help in me furthering my feminization?
I have too Ashley. I am a big fan of overalls as well as jumpsuits. I am hoping to start HRT/herbs soon for feminization. Have you thought about them as well?
