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,

Hello sister’s. I had a very rough childhood as my dad was an abusive alcoholic and an abuser to all 4 of us. My mom left when I was 2. My step mom did nothing to raise me other than being a punching bag. I started when I was 6 and was just make-up. I thought it was fun and as I got bigger then it was the clothing from my step sister. Can’t remember how many time I got caught and whipped and sexually abused. At 17 I left and joined the AF. I new at that time I was different but I kept it in the closet for over 35 years and only pulling Renee out ever so often. Half of my relationship knew that something was different. 1 1/2 years ago I started to let her out every day. As Renee I feel fantastic and get very good comments. Thank you Lucy for helping me to develope into Renee
I first realized that I had a feminine side when I was a child…cross dressed on many occasions just to feel in place. It was only recently my sense of self was given a chance to grow and blossom.
As early as I can remember, I always thought I was a girl. I used to help my mother set up for Avon parties when I was very young. I loved being around the women and all those nice smells. Mom would spray me with perfume and let me help the lady show off all the new things. Knowing who I was inside, helped me on my journey. It was something that just felt so normal. Now, I’m all grown up and live the life of a single older woman. I so love who I’ve become and it all started when I was born. Thank you Lucille for having such a possitive site.
Hi Lucille,
I can remember donning one of my mother’s nightgowns when I was about 5 years old. I then began to explore her lingerie drawer in my early teens. My femininity just seemed to develop to the point I am at now-dressing as often as possible, usually on a daily basis.

I have always felt I was born in the wrong body. I was born with extra cromosones (47XXY). I have been living as a fultime girl since my early 30s.
Dear Lucille
When we are living outside USA, we can’t watch the video’s.
Here are a littel bit about me:
I really discovered my girly-side when I was about 25-28 years old.
There was no ligth flashing when I was playing with dolls and girls as kid, I was even sewing dresses for all my girl-friend’s dolls.
Now I am 1/3 time girl and thinging back, and ask my self why didn’t any one tell me that I am a partly girl?
Hugs Andrea
For me it was from a very early age. I never remember wishing I was anything other than a girl. I have two brothers but my sister and I have always been the closest. We used to play girlie games and dress and make up. My mom never had a problem with it as she wanted a second daughter anyway. However, Ireland was (still is to an extent) a very conservative and repressed society so we couldn’t go public. Still haven’t to an extent although in my teens I did have a boyfriend. He was my best friend growing up and one day ‘caught’ me dressed. He and I stared a relationship which he ended about eighteen months later when he started one with a biological girl. I too moved on, got married and had children but always regret not having the courage to pursue my correct gender. I know I’m speaking to the converted here to say that, as satisfying as having a family is, what I want more than anything is to be the mother and not the father.
Hopefully some day I’ll do myself and all transgenders a service and publicly embrace my true identity.
Love and support to you all.
