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 had some feelings and moments since around 5, but most were pushed down because even that early I thought it wouldn’t be normal but it wasnt untli 18-19 that I started taking things more seriously. I literally laughed things off, I feel dumb when I think of it.
I’ve wanted to be a girl since I was six years old. All the girls in my first and second grade classes wore these cute little dresses or skirts and blouses and ribbons in their hair and cute frilly socks and shoes. All I wore were “boring boys clothes”.
My neighbor down the street had three boys but she wanted a girl so I volunteered to be her baby girl. Whenever we could, she would dress me up like a girl and I loved it. Of course we did this very discreetly and only when she had just her baby at home and no one else. She dressed me up like a girl and took me to the next town to shop for more girls clothes for me. No one could tell that I wasn’t a girl. I still get very excited just thinking about being a girl.
As long as I can remember. I’m only 11, but for as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a girl, I have always had strong connections with girls. I didn’t know what being transgender was, because I wasn’t exposed to that topic. I had to use my own curiosity, and the internet to find out. I’m still closeted, but now I at least know that I am girlflux.
Easily going back to 5 years old, always played with girls and girls things, was never into “being a boy” like my dad used to say. Later when I was 12 and getting into my mom’s things, I can remember standing in front of the mirror in a bra with my tiny private parts tucked so it looked like I was a girl. I used to pray that I could wake up and find that I was a girl.
I have always known. From my youngest memories I would look at my naked self in the mirror and tuck myself to see how girlie I could look.
I would also put a pink bow in my hair, use Cherry chapstick to make my lips red and even brush a bit of mothers rouge blush on my face. It is what made me feel most how I wanted to look. As I got to about 5 or 6 I started “borrowing” panties and tights from clothes lines and the babysitters daughter. I have never needed to be taught how to be feminine as I always felt that I was a girl, instead I had to learn how to act like a boy and then a man as I grew up in order to “fit in” with the worlds expectations.
I did not mind doing that; however, I have always wished that I could have chosen to be a real girl as I would have loved to be able to be a true girlie girl on the outside as much as I am a true girlie girl on the inside.
Very very young probably 7-8 ish the first time I felt pretty I was playing with my hair in the mirror and a thin layer of bangs fell over my forehead and I had transformed completely I looked exactly like a girl! Didn’t recognize my own face.
And my entire life I’d dream of every day as a girl and wish a genie or fairy god mother would come change me I own a dress and a drawers worth of leggings and booty shorts TONNES of panties genuine women’s styles I wear everyday.
Not out. Not transitioning or preparing just wonderfully feminine at home I’ve been watching model training videos and practicing walking this way as I go to the store. Not dressed but very publicly visible. It’s quite invigorating. I don’t think anyone notices but I can’t help but wonder what they would do or what they would say lol wow thank you for asking E that! I have goosebumps! Haha xoxoxo
I was about 11 or 12 when I realized I had a feminine side of me and totally enjoyed wearing female clothes. I am now 70 and still enjoy my female side.
Same here didn’t no nothing about being a girl I just Like the feeling.
I’m 15 right now but i’ve known I was different from a young age I remember getting in trouble when I was like 6 bc we were playing and it asked if you could change one thing about you what would it be and I said my gender and my dad got mad at me and said that’s not ok…so I don’t know how to tell them does anyone have any tips?
