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 was secretly trying on friends moms clothes like dresses and bras when i was 12 or 13 but still having a hard time coming out
I knew I was a female when Ibwas 5 sadly I fought who I was and lost so many years and potetentials I would have transitioned years ago
I have always felt more feminine than masculine. I always preferred playing with girls (house, Barbie, etc.), but I was in denial until recently and tried hard to suppress my true nature.
Even though I haven’t “come out” to anyone, I feel more comfortable with myself now that I have accepted myself as myself. I may never come out, but I know myself better and my only real regret is that I wasn’t lucky enough to be born the “right gender”.
Hi Sabrina
I share your feeling. I believe I am a woman not a man. I have that feeling since I was very young, probably before 10. Now that I am retired, I can put on my own collection of lady garment as often as I can. Unfortunately, this will only last for another couple of months. When my wife retires I will not have the chance any more. I wish I was born a girl!

I have wanted to be a girl ever since I was 6ish. I’m lucky to only be a senior in high school, and I’m really striving to get the surgery done before I even start a permanent career. I have loved everything about being a women but my family does not approve of this, so I’ve decided to not talk with my family once I graduate. My friends are my closest family.
I realised that I was a girl when I was around six years old, I was one of four children I had two brothers and one sister. We used to play doctor’s and nurses a lot and of course I was always a nurse I loved dressing up. Like most transgender female’s I tried to be what everyone saw me as a male but that just made me unhappy and I always would go shopping and treat myself to some new underwear matching of course skirts and blouses just to cheer myself up.
I first had the desire to put on a dress when I was somewhere between six and ten . I got invited to my cousins birthday party. Mum said ” Are you going to be okay ? It’s all girls you know ” I didn’t see the problem .
As I was walking in I noticed a girl wearing a dress that was hot pink underneath a sheer covering. This made it shimmer when she moved . I can’t remember whether that material underneath was nylon or satin. I do remember thinking that it looked really soft and wondered what it would be like against my skin. The dress looked really sensual although I wouldn’t have realized that at the time .
Hi Lucille, I have had the desire to wear female clothing as early as 7 or 8 but just over the last 10 years have I realized how much I am a female. I just turned 59 and the desire is stronger than ever but it’s also more difficult than every to think it could ever happen. At this point, I have settled on being content if I can spend a few days or just a day as Danalynn. Right now in my life, the stakes are much to high to chance losing my family just so I can live the female life. Some is better than non.
As long as I remember. Now 65.
