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 don’t think i am a girl but thank you
I realised when I was young, signs were showing at around 8, knew at age 14. Didn’t understand it until just recently though started working with it now and not against it. Now I’m a sassy girl of 24.
It’s kinda fuzzy area. But, I remember we were visiting one of the neighbors when i was 3-4 years old in a small remote community here in British Columbia, Canada. I found a pair of 3 inch highheels, black or black patent size fives and put them on and walked around in them. Mom said take them of, don’t play with them they aren’t yours. I didn’t take them off, wearing them until it was time to go home. When going home Irene the neighbor asked mom what size she wore, mom said size 5’s . Irene said those are size 5’s you could take them if you want. Oh good i thought. But Mom said no I haven’t wore shoes like that and didn’t think she intends to. My heart sank. I new she was offering/or giving to my mom because i liked them. I don’t know why but I really liked them. I pleaded to my mother to take them but to no avail. Ever since then I’ve always wanted to be the one in the highheels. However, I guess it was in grade school when I seen how much more prettier and feminine girls were. Especilly in thier pretty dresses, skirts and maryjanes. Later, I realized it wasn’t the clothes it was my gender identity. Where ever thoughts and feelings come from, that part of me has always identified with the feminine. I have always felt and thought of my self as feminine. A feminine being or entity born in the wrong body.
I was rather a late bloomer (very late, in my 40s), but the signs were there from an early age and throughout my life. As a child my very first best friend was a girl who lived down the street, we played very typically “girl” games.
I started cross-dressing about a year or so ago and quickly realized that periodic cross-dressing wasn’t enough, I needed more. So now I’m doing more 🙂
I was about 5 years old. I liked playing dress up with the neighbor girl across the street. From that I just like hanging out with the girls.
I was 5 years old when my sister dressed me in her lacy white communion dress with a full crinoline! I also wore a single strand of pearls with matching earrings. The thing I was excited about the most was the bright red lipstick she applied to my lips!! I became a girl that very day!!
I first known I was a girl at the age of 3 years old but I didn’t say anything until about a year ago at the age of 18 years, I’m now 19 and looking forward to 28th of April for my doctor’s appointment so that I can get the ball rolling.
Since I was about ten. It’s been a struggle ever since. Maybe I should move to Thailand :/
