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 guess I was around 7 or 8 I would wake uo at night from these really incredible dreams where I had put on some panties or pantyhose and became girl, I would try on my sisters and moms panty hose and stockings for years in the hopes that my fantasies would come true, I drifted away for a few years but always in the back of my mind was the idea I was in the wrong body. I started dressing up whenever I could and even went for long drives in the country, then got scared and stopped for a while, but whenever I could get my hands on some estrogen I would take it and loved how it made me feel. then I stumbled across your program some time back tried it off and on, but the longer I tried to not do it the more I wanted it, and every time I see a nicely built lady I am jealous of her, but needless to say I am thoroughly hooked now and starting to see results in many ways.
thanks for the help
I realized I was girly just a couple years ago. I have a small,slight body I actually traced my girliness back to an incident was I was about 4 years old, Later as a teenager and as a preteen I was attracted to women’s clothes, particularly underwear. When my mother would go shopping she’d leave me home alone. I’d exploeing her underwear drawer and pick out a bra, slip, panty girdle and a dress. I did that for years. Finally, I got married after a few years I went into my wife’s underwear drawer and began experimenting with them. I started checking our Sissy sites on the Internet. Looking at those sites, reading fictional stories and nonfictional experiences. It was then that I finally realized my inner girl. A couple years ago I finally confessed my obsessian. Although she was initially shocked, She thought it was pretty good. She doesnt make girlfriends easily. She’s rather unsocial. Here, she thought, was possibly her fix, a live-in girlfriend She confided in me about her fantasy of being a lesbian. She’s helped me get clothes and lingerie. It finally hit me just about a month ago when I received my set of breast forms in the mail. I wore them when I cleaned one day. I was hooked. I loved how they jiggled and swayed. I can’t clean the house without wearing my boobs. I have to have my boobs on when I clean the house. I’m a girly-girl and I’m proud of it. I just need to learn the voice, the gestures, the walk and the speech patterns of a girl and I’ll be golden.

I am presently 68 years old. My earliest recollections were around the age of 8 (1950). That year, my mother made me a complete outfit for a costume of a little girl’s dress and did my hair and makeup for a Holloween party for the Air force dependents at March Field, CA. The judges had to ask me if I was a girl or a boy because they thought that I was a girl. Being a boy, I was qualified for first prize and won. Throughout my young years, I preferred to play with other girls, hop scotch, ball and jacks, tea parties as well as with thier dolls which I did not have. I always remembered Christmas as wanting what other girls would get but was dissappointed because I would get boy toys and clothes. I kept my desires a secret as I percieved that my parents would not have approved (remember this was in the 1950’s when there was nothing known about this in our society). My dad, being an officer in the military, always had a favorite phrase he would say to me, “be a man”. So, I had to pretend being a boy. By my young teen years, I was surripitiously wearing my mothers clothes and makeup whenever I could and often would wear her undergarments to school. It was only at those times that I really felt “right”. I kept in the closet for most of my life. After a divorce and then the loss of my second wife to breast cancer, I no longer had any reason to not become who I really was, so I transitioned at the age of 61 and have lived full time as a woman ever since. I have also secured my two letters of approval for my GRS surgery but am unable to afford to complete this journey. I am presently retired and spend my time and support with an organization called This is HOW, a home for disenfranchised young trans girls that were kicked out by thier parents for being trans, rescued from street life of drugs, prostitution and crime, to provide them a stable environment, room and board, education and a job so they may return to society to realize thier dreams for a decent future as the women they really are.
I also loved MOST of the show the other night.
I knew as early as age 6 that I was different. At age 10 I used to say my prayers then pull the covers over my head and say. “God can I try being a girl? Even just for a week. I think I was supposed to be a girl.” Guess what I was a girl.
The report from the Trans person who became a woman then back to a man just made me crazy. I guess if that is what happened to him that’s ok but to imply that taking female hormanes makes a person then want to change genders is crazy.
I love being on Estrogen and would not change it for the world but I knew long before I took Estrogen that I was a woman.
He had poor counseling and advice that’s all!!!
Hi Lucille
I stared to feel girly arround the age of 12.I loved the feeling
i got when wearing my sisters tops;
Hi Lucille,
Well I have known about this for as far back as I can remember. If I would pick an age that I knew about myself would probably be around 8 or so. Strangely at that age, I was sexually aware as well. I was never touched by anyone or anything weird like that. But for some reason, at age 8 I had my first sexual experience with a girl. That’s a very young age for that stuff, but I was aware of my sexual side and also my gender. Of course, as a child, you don’t call it gender but you know you are not like others…
I have known since I was 5 . My mother and older sisters caught me dressing in there room. After that I pretty much only wore girls clothes. Grew up male and now I am back at the womens section shopping. Working on my boobs. A great bra and good light.
