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!

hi i like the show and i wish her good luck and i wish i had same thing too when i was 10 years old sally anne
WHen I was 9 I wished I was a girl from the waist down. I would stare at womens underwear ads.I’ve never related to male genitals or’ve ever had a male/sexual identity. Thats how it started for me.
I had feelings that I was a girl when I was about 8 years old. I knew deep down inside of me, so i started wearing my sisters clothes and as I got older I started wearing my mothers clothes and trying her makeup. When I looked at my self in the mirror the transformation was fantastic.when I got married things calm down for a while. Then the urge to be a woman returned I went shopping for girly things and enjoyed every minute of it and still do. I love dressing up and going shopping. I have a great time transforming my self into Jennifer.
Around 4 or 5 yrs old.
Hi everyone it started when i was a child i would go in my mother things put on her wigs some lips stick and a dress when nobody was home i wanted to be a girl i had hips and thighs like a girl growing up i had crush on boys in school and but i like girls too. so i grew up confuse about me, went to the army i thought it was done but it came back i took a wife had children but i would wear panties and bras when no one was there i would get real depress because i didn’t understand what was going on with me until i found a books about sexuality and i knew i was bi sexual that i like both now I’m also fifty and i still dress up behind close door but i don’t want to do that anymore i want to be free to be me i now can say that I’m a transsexual person who love me and i am not shame of that anymore. it hard for people to understand that people like me did not wake up one day and said i want to wear a dress and be a woman that it is in our DNA. i do not have a demon in me cause i like woman things and like both sexes it just apart of my DNA nature make me this way for a reason and that is just fine with me peace everyone( :
hi, i am know since is was appox 4 or 5 yrs old, i have always preffered female clothing and i remeber when i was arounf 7 years old wanting to have a sex change which at the time did not know that was possible, this was 35 years ago….maybe some day that dream will become a reality
I became aware I my feminity at the age of 11, and like most I experimented with dressing in my Sisters or Mother’s clothes. This continue on for maybe 8 years. Afetr that from time to I still dressed but for the most part I surpressed who I was. It was mybe 3 years ago that I finally accepted things and I’ve never been happier. For the most part I live my perfessional life as my male self but socialize, date, and experience life as I my true self.
That’s very nice but how do you hide your breast when you are a male
