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,

My earliest memory was when i was about 4, and my mom did my hair like Kate Jackson from Charlie’s Angels; i felt pretty and right. The truth is, I always knew i was really a woman.. (and oddly enough, even when I wore a goatee, people called me “miss”,) my male body was just a (VERY) inconvenient mistake. I’m now 43, in a ationship with a wonderful woman (yes, my primary social/sexuql/romantic attachment has always been with women), and though i dont dress markedly feminine, (i tend towards feminine tomboyish- androgynous) I more often than not, pass as 100% female.
When I was about five. I did later, sometimes try on girly clothes. But cross dressing was not the point for me. I simply knew I had to be a girl. The clothes surely were secondary. Between five and about fifteen, I also knew that I was the only person in the world who felt crazy like this.
I also do remember having tooth ache and putting a scarf around my head and jaw – caught a glance in the mirror – and I was she, myself, her – and I was scared as hell about that. (Sadly testosterone has since changed that face to very male). Then I saw a newspaper report on the first post-war “sex change” operation. I can still remember the extraordinary huge massive exploding exciting adrenalin rush of that knowledge. I was not bonkers after all.

I suppose for me, it was around the third grade. While most boys were out playing baseball and football, I was literally hiding inside my closet wearing dresses and playing barbie. To this day only a handful of people know the real me.
I was told by my parents when my mother was carrying me she was told she was having a girl surprises. At 2 I would not ware boys close I would take them off. One day mom put my sisters dress on me and I wouldn’t take it off. They used to have a movie of me in dresses from then on we know. Then school I was sent home many times to change. Then the church got involved. Supposed to be a man get married have kids 3. But I’ve always felt like a woman. My wife of 35yrs and all my kids know.
When i was 3 years old, and my parents encouraged it and i live all of my early years and adult life to this point in denial. Now am on a voyage to discover the real me and let the girl in me out to mature into the femme personna that truly expresses the interior me.
