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 the youngest of 3 children. I have 2 older sisters. Probably around 3 years old I told my Mother I wanted a doll. My sisters had dolls and I wanted one as well. After a few months I was given one but it came with conditions. I could play with it in my room only. That was my earliest exposure. I went to kindergarten at age 4. I September of the following year my Mother took me to school to enroll but they refused since I would not turn 6 for another 6 weeks. The school told her to take me home and bring me back the following year. During that year the bond with Mother grew stronger. As she sew clothes, I played at her feet. When she took a bath, I would sit and talk to her. I was amazed by her breasts. I became friends with her best friends and she took me to her home. I played there and she allowed mke to watch her dress and put on make-up. We moved and I became a latch key kid as my Mother re-entered the work force. I always got home before my sisters. I loved how my Mother’s hose felt whenever I held onto her legs. I started playing with her lingerie, hose, and shoes by the 3rd grade. If she ever realized it she never let on to me. A few times I was forced to wear a pair of my sister’s panties as punishment or if the laundry had not been done. I remembering protesting but never too hard. I continued until I was caught the 1st time when I was 16. My Mother found a garter belt I had hidden and my parents confronted me. I promised to stop and thats all they wanted to hear. We moved again and I was having a lot of stress at school and I started to cross-dress again. I quit before college and did not cross-dress again until after I had graduated from college and moved far away from my family. I have never desired to dress to go out in public and am not passable however, I am still cross-dressing.
When I was 4 or 5 I used to plead with my mother to paint my fingernails with polish, and she would. I had one younger sister but she was just a baby, so my influences had to be the other kids I played with. I wanted to dress like the girls did, they were so pretty in their dresses and that’s what I wanted for myself. The polish had to be my mother’s influence because the kids I played with were too young to wear polish. There were so many stories of me growing up and secretly cross dressing and to this day that has never left me. I still come home from work and re-dress in my “normal” clothes. It’s just who I am!
I tried on my sister’s panties at 8 years old. I felt a such pleasure and I knew it I was not like the other boys!
I knew the first time I put on my mom’s bra it felt so right
When I was 12 trying on my moms clothes, I had the same feeling.
Oh yeah I would love to talk to you about some girly things
I can remember at 5 years i wore a saree of my mother. Saree is a dress that is worn by Sri Lankan and Indian women
I would try on my sister’s clothes when I was in Junior high (around 13 or 14). My mother always said my legs looked better than my sisters’. My feminine feelings became stronger later in life after marriage. My wife knows I enjoy cross-dressing.
School. when someone noticed how girly my legs looked.
I knew at age 14 years old . I would sneek into m my sister and moms closet and try them on .later in life i felt right .
