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!

Hello, When I first started to realise that I was a girl I realised that I realised this when I was in primary school 6 years old, I would see the other girls and wander why I couldn’t dress the same way that they did or wanted to have my hair done in ponytails, then as I got older the same feelings were there but instead of wanting to go to anchor boys like my brother I wanted to go to the girl guides with my cousins or gymnastics my parents would egnore the signs I was displaying as a girl but I remember one time I was at the Dr’s with both my parents & when the Dr asked my gender I replied female my parents corrected what I said but I didn’t I was happy with my reply to the question. I have since been told that I have better dress sence as a woman than I had as a male (but then women have better clothing to look at aswell), I guess I would say that I’ve known all my life & so have my friends who have supported me through it all, My Dr’s &friends have come to understand & realise that I’m doing the right thing by myself & I egnored my mum’s words of “If you continue on this path of wanting to be a woman then you’ll have no family and friends ” I mentioned this to my little sister who then spoke to her husband &they both told me that regardless of what my mum or family say I’m always welcome to them, I’ve been asked by a friend recently if I’ll be her bridesmaid (which I have said yes to) So we have been talking about wedding plans for then 🙂
I was about 6 or 7 years old when I knew that I liked women’s clothes. When my parents and sisters would leave to go somewhere I would wear my mothers and sisters underwear and dresses. It was very comfortable at the time. As it is now also. I’ve been doing this for many years. I’d buy clothes then get rid of them because I felt guilty, that it was wrong to feel this way. Then some time would go by and I would buy more clothes again, and what a joy it would be . It felt so natural to wear women’s clothes again. And now I’m in my 60’s and thinking of transitioning. Do you think this is a crazy idea? I still have guilty feelings…I don’t know.
Hello Miss Lucille and Ladies,
i am writing in response to the question of realizing when i first knew i was a girl. i must have been 3 or 4 years old. Our family went to the mountains for a day of fun in the snow for the day, Well to make a long story short my shoes and stockings (As i called them when i was young LOL…) And i had to go potty, So my mommy let me wear her sandals to stand in the snow and do a # 2 so my feet wouldn’t get cold. They felt so natural and i believe i was already playing dress up with my two older sisters already. As far as i can remember. i wanted to be a girl too!!! i have always loved trying on outfits and “dressing up” Shoes!!! Oh my goodness. i am a submissive trying to finally find a way to transition to a woman…Sorry for rambling on.
Love Ya!

I believe my mother knew when I was very young, because she used to dress me as a girl. Until my father caught her and demanded she never do it again. She did not tell me about these happenings until I was much older and had secretly started dressing in my mother’s clothes and wearing my sister’s underwear on my own. I had always felt I was not a boy, but could not express my feeling and behave and dress the way I knew I should. So I guess I knew when I was about 4 or 5 years old. I have been suppressing and denying the truth all these years and now that I’m in my fifties I can no longer pretend any longer. However coming out to my family and wife will be devisating, but continuing the lie will destroy me.
I been a year or two that I started to feel feminine my breast grows and like to wear women clothes and makeup
I was around 10, my older sister wore ‘interesting’ clothes, around the time of the onset of the miniskirt (early 70s). I was jealous of what she wore, I wanted to be just like her.
I have known from the time that memory started 4 or 5
