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,
Lucille
Lucille,I have known I wanted to be a Female ever since I was 6years old, and now that I am older and in my 40s and married I have wished it more now than even before, Is that wrong.Please help.
It’s really hard to say as it wasn’t until about the age of 17 that started conclusively thinking that I might transgender. Before it was discontinued thoughts and actions that I never really thought much of on a grander scheme. I’m twenty now and have only recently come to terms with that I am trans. Took many years of me trying explain it and rationalize it until one day it just snapped in ny head. Was so excited that I didn’t sleep for a week. Haven’t looked back since. 🙂
My first recollection of being gurlie was dressing in and smelling my grandmom’s nylons at age 8. She was dying of cancer and that was the only way i could be close to her. My fetish of feet and there scent is directly connected to those times. My crossdressing with nylons and girdles always calms me with warmth. That experience is 60 plus years ago and it has shaped my path for good or bad along my lifes journey. Kisses to all U Wonderful Creatures (gurlie grls)
I was about 9 yrs old. My father had certain rules I had to follow. I had 5 other siblings I had to help my mother with. My father came home 1 night, intoxicated and very upset with me, and dressed me in my older sister ‘s clothes, in front of everyone. I felt a strange feeling at the time and it felt so good!!! I am 62 now and have been dressing ever since. I am still in the closet.
I know I as quite young, probably 9 or 10. I do know that by age 11 I was wearing my sister’s underwear all day and sleeping in her night clothes. I remember i would set my alarm for 20min before my father woke us up for school. I did that for a few years until I could no longer fit into her clothes. That was a tough pill to swallow as she was the only female in the house and now I had no fem clothing.
I am 43 now and have been married to a great woman for 23 years. She has always thought it silly or cute when I would dress up in her clothes. And she has helped me do my makeup when I would dress up as a woman for Halloween. Well about a year ago I came to her and explained how I’ve always felt and to my surprise she said, ” I know.” She said she has known for years and was just waiting for me to tell her my self. She is a huge help and the only actual support I have. She helps me shop, buys all of my makeup with hers. I could not do this without her. We will stay married but to the rest of the world we will be sisters living together sharing everything.
You are a very lucky girl to find such a wonderful wife, I now live and work as close to a women as I can (nails and women’s clothing) and have no problems with it. I would love to find a women as open as your wife.
I was 5 or 6 when I first tried to talk about it. I told my mom I wished I was a girl and she freaked – not overtly – but I could see it on her face. She immediately asked why I said that. I did not even know what to make of what I thought so I tried to squash my feelings. I was scared of the look she gave me so I made up an excuse.

Hi Lucille. I knew when i was 4 or 5 years old, thatbi preferred to have been born girl. Although i was quite masculine, i have always loved girly things like makeup and clothing etc.
However, i am 45 now and have just started my transition, afte4 many years of denial and resisting. I have now finally recognised that i am transsexual and will finally be that girlni wanted to be 40 years ago.
That’s me too exactly, Lol. Same age and same type preferences. I first tried to tell my mom when I was about 5. I have tons of clothes and a sewing machine now. Love it.
