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!

That is an excellent question. I do not know when. I grew up playing with my sisters and knew I was a feminine boy because my mom was upset with me for not acting masculine enough. Due to marriage problems between dad and mom I got abused alot and sent away. I relied on my feminity to get me through the crisis. Being tina makes me happy and takes away the depressions that frederick gets all the time. I get alot of support from the ladies in my city.
I knew when I was 6 that I was born in the wrong body. For one thing I have a older sister & I always envied her. She got to wear the pretty clothes & look nice all the time. I hated that thing down there stopping me from enjoying the same things as my sister did. I was very thankful that when we were alone that she use to help me dress up in her clothes. This went on for a long period of time. Eventually I was caught wearing her clothes by our mother. Sis pretended that it was all my idea. It was our my “mad” sister’s idea and our mother’s that from that day on. I would dress only as a girl, since as mom told me. I wanted to dress as a girl then so be it. I would be taught how to act, dress & behave like a girl since that day.
That made me really happy & I joined right into becomming what I just knew that I should have been born as.
As far back as I can remember I knew something was wrong. At my fifth birthday party there were several boys and one girl, I remember her party dress and wishing I had a dress like it. My older sister tells of my dressing my teddy bear in her bra and panties, although I never wore them (my bear was named Cindy) Later in grade school I began wearing girls tights under my pants and dresses in private. When the girls got the “you are becoming a woman” talk at school I wanted so badly to go with them and. Become a woman also. When I realized what the “talk” was about I began using feminine hygiene products, just like the other girls. Since then I have been through the ups and downs, the denials and purges, the guilt and shame of being a woman when the rest of the world sees a man. I am 50 years old now, and married with a child. What will become of me? Will I keep myself hidden or not and risk losing my family? Who knows………
I was about 5 years old. I knew then and it never went away. I am girl and I always have been
Pretty much as long as i can remember.
hi
i am joanna and i think i first statated having the feeling that i was a girl was when i was about the age of 8 or 9. I rember every time i felt girly, trying to push the feeling away and then i rember at age 13 i think… i went to tack a shower and i say my mums cloths in the laundry hamper and having this strong urge to put it on. thats the first time i ever crosed dress. I think thats the day i found out that i was a little diferent for ever one. At age 16 i think i found out about cd,ts,les and gay. me not aunder standing my situation clearly, in the starte i thought i was a cd. just like to where women cloths but as time passed i found out that i was a little more different, that i was a ts. i think thats when i really found out that i was a girl
i was always a bit un sure but when i was 19 i tried my aunts dress on so i always was kinda a bit femmine every web site i have thinks im female and since my mom always was out with work and

Hi,
Age 10 i knew i was a mix of both, no words that i knew to even say let alone knew. = interesex ,
no dressing as such tho Mum dressed me in a lovely cream dress. & again dressed as a girl full on for a church end of year do & Mum was there with over 80 people ,
Tho as much as i hated boys clothes i wore them , later Mum knew i hated boys clothes of any sort. & even Jos my S O , knew , just they never got it that i was a boy/girl. to late now for Mum tho Jos & family all know im just a woman. a 1947 baby boomer . still my life has been good in many ways in helping me to be who i am now well 15 years of being a all out strong woman.
