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,

Somewhere between 3 and 5, smelled mom’s lipstick and tried on. And then stepped into her shoes and felt ‘it should be mine one day’.
7 years old i think . My mom put makeup on me and i love it i ask my mother always to buy girly shoes + but no . My mother dont like it . I mean a have seen a old Photo of my self in Iyaly ther i was in girl clothing out in the city with mt mother but nothing have been easy poor mother and a poor father ++++ Sad
Seems like forever
I knew something was not right when i stared at a girls dress a lady was buying for her and she offered to me..at 8 i just turned away.
Then i had a desire to borrow my sisters costumes,still my favourite thing to be in.
And 62 years later i love putting on a dress or swimming costume…and ny chest is still flat but following advice from lucy maybe that will change.
Found out mum used to put me in a dress and cossie.shame changing sex was hardly thought about then.

At 7 years old, a friend dressed me up in his mother’s dresses. I loved it. Since then growing up in my teens I would sneak and try on my mother’s clothes and underwear. I always felt different than the other boys. I dated women thinking this was right but I really wanted to be one of the women. I had a moment when I was 30 years old seeing the cheerleaders at a basketball game. My heart was pounding – I knew I wanted to be one of them. I now live as a woman at every opportunity. I have collected a vast wardrobe, jewelry, make up, etc. I started going to therapy and have come to realize I am a straight transgender woman. I am about to start HRT and electrolysis and eventually finalize my transition with a full vaginoplasty. Finally, I can see the light where I can be the woman I have always wanted to be and hopefully get to be with a kind thoughtful man.
At age 3 I was able to fit in a large doll’s dress my sister owned so I know it was as early as that but a traumatic experience left me with very little memory between then and age six where I found slips belonging to my sisters and mother in the laundry room. I remember playing in there when the dryer was running so it was a warm, inviting and luxurious feeling. A quest began to see what women were wearing from then on
As I start to get older realizing that I was born in the wrong gender. Everyday I wish & think about what it would be like to change my sex and be a full woman. The way I act in public even my appearance wish the world knew it was all a big lie and that person is not me. Today I’m having more gender issues behind close doors & it’s tough to deal with. When I get the chance to crossdress I feel happy & it’s my true gender inside of me deep down a beautiful woman and I know it. I use to think if I made changes in my life it would all go away. I have dreams at night that I’m a woman, & that I married a handsome husband. Every time someone says to me sir, I have to remind myself I’m not that woman. Just hope one day people will accept me, and I can be free & happy in my own gender as the woman l wanna be !
I’ve felt that I was a girl when I was nine. I ‘ve got two-sided pneumonia. MY mother to keep me in warm has bought for me a warm flannel pink night gown. And it was so comfortable for me to sleep in this gown. After I have recovered, I’ve turned to a thief of my mother dresses. I took with me some dresses and ran to the nearest forest to do outfit on the forest meadow. And when I did it, I felt myself very good and in confidence with the Nature.
