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,

Hi Lucille,
I have felt different all my life. Guess realization set in at about 12/13 years old. I had mostly girl friends and like may groups of friends we shared clothes (drersses, shoes, tops and jeans). In my mid teens I started buying my own clothing styles. Mever looked back and have worn female clothing ever since even when I worked as a man in a high profile international company. Now I dress as I want. My partner even helps me with fashion and buys me girly gifts at Xmas. Though fill time girl I still have my male parts that I would love to loose but cost of surgery is beyond my means.
Love Mya
i was 12 now i am 46
When I was seven years old, an older neighbor girl tricked me into putting my sisters panties on. Then she told me how pretty I was and suggested I also Wear my sisters garter belt and hose. Then into a lacy nylon slip, a party dress and mary jane shoes. Wow that was fun. She played dress up with me every day. We went outside with me as a girl. And she let me wiggle on her panties while I was a girl. Wow she was the best teacher. I’ve been a girl ever since.
As far back as i can remember.By five or six i KNEW i was different. Have tried countless times to deny it, but i can’t.
i don’t really know how old i was but i do remember asking my mom to put makeup on me when she dressed up for her nights out.i do remember her saying that i should be a girl?i guess was femme i had long hair and it was the 70’s. then around age 10/11 i started dressing wearing my older sisters dresses and heels and moms dresses too i use to show off to my brother and sister who just shrug and went on doing whatever. then high school came in the 80’s and boy george and all the other glam rock bands caught my attention so crossdressing was alot easier you were cool with big hair eye makeup and tight spandex.now adays i just wear the clothes that im happy wearing and yes im still a guy,im just wearing womens fashions its pretty easy now there is alot more awareness of us. i buy my own clothes at the mall and the sales lady is fully aware of me(thanks to discount cards) they want my femme name Lisa on them. i only wear womens clothes and sometimes i do keep my bra on to show off my girls but now i just live so what im a lot/little femme im not answering to anyone why im like this and thats my story.theres so much more but thats the high lights.take care girls Lisa D.
Hiya Lucille, As with most who have replied I had suspition when I was about 5 or 6 years old yet I wouldn’t have clarity and full comprehension until 35. My mother used to make dresses for some of the neighborhood girls which coincidentily were about the same age as me and about the same size, but her maniquin was rather shoddy for small clothes so she would have me stand in for the “dummy” so she could make te dresses just right. I beleive that was when I realized I was much different than everyone I knew because it made me proud and happy to help my mother in that way and the feel of the dresses weren’t bad either. She would tell me about how happy she was that she got two boys but when she was pregnant with me she really wanted a girl but gave in to my fathers wishes for another boy.
It took a break-up that lead to what I believe a small mid-life crisis and pure luck that brought me back to revel in my youth and open my eyes to my true self for what had been cited in an online medical journal describing my life as the term “transgendered-TS”.Thank you for the great information for self changing and I just hope all you TG people find your happines and lot in life…see ouy all on the flip side.
Hi Lucille,
I’m a mature gal who like most discovered I was a bit different. I was being pushed to participate in sports et al and being tough, but still I knew I loved looking like a girl. My first inkling was around 5 or 6 and continued to struggle with it for all sorts of reasons some religious and others social. At my age going thrugh this was all very lonely. I certainly had no on eto tak to about it. All of this occuring pre-internet and before Christine Jorgensen. When going through puberty I had little breasts. I wish I had them now. Still that being said it’s a big dilemma to be sure because what is done can’t be undone. I wan tto say thanks to you because you’ve provided a great service filling needs that are varied can cover a lot more territory than simply breast growth.
Hugs,
Rene’
