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 first realized I was a girl when I was 5. I was at my daycare and it was scout day. I was a Cub Scout at the time. Prior to that my mom took me with my sister to my sister’s Brownie meetings. I always had fun. The girls were nice and always had fun. At the Cuban Scout meetings the boys were rough and it always involved a lot of pushing and shoving and often times punching.
I hated the Cub Scout meetings. I was always with girls. I didn’t have a father. I lived with my mom and older sister. My grandmother was very domineering and my grandfather was cold and distant. I had more aunts than uncles and most of my cousins were girls. At daycare there was the mother, her two daughters, two other girls, an my sister and myself. So I always played with girls and was treated as one of the girls. The daycare mother would always call us for lunch by calling “girls come eat”. I was just one of the girls. I played dolls and dress up with the girls.
Back to the story. So it was scout day and I had my Cub Scout uniform on. I was in one of the daughter’s rooms and her Brownie dress was hanging up. I remember thinking how unfair it was that I had to go to Cub Scouts when I wanted to be a Brownie. I took off my Cub Scout uniform and put on the Brownie dress. I looked at myself in the mirror and was happy. I knew then that I was supposed to be a girl.
I began to pray at night for God to fix the mistake and make me a girl like I was supposed to be. It never happened. I began to dress as a girl more and more as much as I could after that.
When I was very little, I was the family clown. I made every body laugh, but as I got older, I got quiet and shy and wouldn’t talk much to anyone. I knew something was different and at about the age of 6. We were 6 kids; 2 boys and 4 girls, and we all had to help with the house hold chores, which included the laundry. When I would touch panties, slips or bras, I liked the way they felt, and later, when I was about 7 instead of saving them where they went, I would hide panties in my room, and try them on at night. I would sneak them back to the laundry when it was safe. At the age of 12, when ever I was home alone, I would get really brave and try on some of my mothers out fits and at that them my feet fit perfectly in her shoes. There were times when I wanted to get caught so bad, but I was so afraid of what everyone would think.

I’d experiment with items of female clothing in my childhood and young adulthood, but it was only 4 months ago in my mid thirties that I finally discovered who I was, and started dressing up completely in female outfits. The transformation in my lifestyle and how I feel so much better about myself as a person in these last 4 months has been amazing.
From a young age living at home I used to try my mum’s bras and knickers on from time to time as I thought they looked nice and I was inquisitive as to what they felt like . I didn’t really have much chance for me to be girlie living at home , that really started to happen when I moved away to college .
When I had moved to college there was more freedom for me to be able to wear lingerie and i also started going out wearing women’s clothes . This was such a special time for me I had friends that came to support me and encourage me to be a girl and not be ashamed of who I was .
Moving forward a great many years I am happily married now and I have a wife who is happy for me to wear my lingerie all the time but my dress’s and skirts are there for me to wear when I’m back from work .
I’m happy with how my life is and so is my wife . We both love having girlie nights together and I’m more than happy being male and having such a girlie lifestyle xxx
I’ve known since I was five. Taking a nap in my mother’s bedroom. Everyone was outside for a bbq. I woke and was gonna go outside. The I saw my mothers pantyhose in her garbage can. I couldn’t help myself. I had to touch them.
After that I always took my naps in her room. And finally 40 years later I have all my stuff and a wife that takes me shopping.
I always new I was a girl since I was very young. I always loved trying on my sisters dresses and bras. It felt so good. Going to a store looking for bras and panties was so exciting. When each of my sisters wore their first bra I felt so left out. I wanted my own bra too. I wanted to be just like them. To be one of the girls. Lisa
Oh Honey – you sound so much like me!!!!
I”changed” my name from Robin to Randee ( NJ GIRL ) !!!!!!
I felt like I was female in kindergarten during the the time when your sex meant whether you “ruled or druled.” Whenever my classmates would start I would almost start to break down emotionally because my friends did it and I’d feel like I was being made fun of.
