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
I never be aware of my trans identity in my child years. But that was the 70’s and nobody were talking about this. It was taboo and risking to be turned in ridicule if you ever tried to mention this. But now I’m 53, flourish in my transition and looking back, I realise that I always be trans. Although I was treated like a boy, I had more girly behavior than boyish behavior. I’ve been bullied at school for that and that’s the reason I denied my true self as an adult. I played a role for 40 years to conform to what society expected from me. Transition in my early 50’s has be a liberation for me. A liberation from this character I created, and only then I discovered my true self.
Hello Lucille and all the girls! I’m Annie (although most people know me as Andrey). I realized my feminine side when I was young . In high school, the girls turned into beauties and I realized that I wanted to be like them. I wanted the same beautiful body, I wanted to wear beautiful clothes and lacy lingerie and use cosmetics. Now I’m married and sometimes I transform into a beautiful lady. I can afford what I dreamed of when I was young! Thank you Lucille for supporting people like me! I wish everyone happiness and love! Annie.
I knew at about 5 or 6 that I was different from other boys. At 7 I had to wear a pair of tights for a school play. I became enamored with stockings. Girdles were a necessity to hold up the stockings. (This was in the 50’s) . I was always drawn to the girls and their easy play. I was never a team person, and only enjoyed sports where it was me against one other. I excelled am swimming. By college age I was close to Olympic Standards. Almost, but not quite. At 6’5″ and 200+lbs, I realized I could never pass as a woman. Still can’t pass at 72, but for the general public, I don’t care. For my family and very young grandchildren, I feel I must give in to my family. I am currently on a low dose hormone treatment. Also dealing with recovering from triple bypass surgery. Sandy
moi j’avais 13ans mes parents ayant divorcé j’ étais souvent seule à la maison et la lingerie de ma mére m’ attirait comme un aimant je me suis mise à porter tout ce qui pouvait m’ aller , au fil des ans j’ ai pris l’ habitude de ne porter que de la lingerie feminine et de me travestir à la maison dés que je pouvais
plus tard j’ ai osé sortir travestie mais que la nuit ensuite j’ ai eu des rencontres
avec trois hommes dominateurs je me sentais femme au plus profond de moi
I learned it later in life. Wearing a specific dress from something gave me initial thoughts. Everything afterwards just keeps re in forcing I am a woman.
I knew I had a feminine side when I saw my legs bare after my first waxing as an adult. It was almost like an out of body experience , I thought “Are those my legs? They’re attached to me but they seem so different. They feel so smooth and they look so sexy” It was amazing ! And I put on a side-tie bikini recently and that reinforced a feeling of feminine energy , it’s so hard to describe but it was so cool like I’d entered a new dimension. Thank you Lucille for creating this space ! I sooo appreciate it! Thank you everyone else for sharing your story!
I was 10 or 11 and was home alone and put on my sisters bathing suit and low heals and was instantly hooked, never got caught, but found the joy of masturbation and enjoyed hanging with girls. I stopped for probably 20 years, but once in my 30’s as I knew more about crossdressing, I got back into it and have enjoyed it ever since (55 now). Looking back, because it was the 80’s and so much was not accepted or talked about, I really wish I had a girlfriend who would have transformed me.
For me I was 11 and my sister who was 7 years older went off to college. My brother and I shared a room so it was decided I take her room when she was away. So one night I looked into my sisters night stand drawer and saw a tube of lipstick. Something inside me said “try it” and I did.it. The lipstick was so smooth so intoxicating and honestly I felt like a baseball bat just went across my head. Next night I was trying on whatever clothes my sister had left and soon I was using my Moms undies and makeup. I still crossdress today and have gone on dates been to movies, grocery shopped, and plenty of TG/CD events. I’ll never stop and I’m happy
