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!

It wasn’t until this last year that I started excepting my feminine, girly side. I probably have felt this way all my life now finally allowing myself the chance to feel pretty. I’m starting slow enjoying the take over of my body from getting lean and shapely to being a total girl when I’m alone. Next step to share this side of me with someone else. Thanks
I know a girl inside of age 5 years . I tell my parents at age of 16 years old . My father says I am not his son . But my said I am they sons . I kept inside of me . I get marry but I not happy . Itoldmy wife. She says ok by her. But I faithful to her when she pass away . Before she pass away she told me she loves me and go find my girl side of me and be happy . Then she pass away . That day I know find my woman side of me again .
Though there could have been an earlier repressed memory, the first time I realized that something wasn’t quite right with my gender appearance was about a week or so into kindygarden. I was about 5 1/2 then, and I felt so strongly that I was truly a girl that I snuck out of the house in one of my older sister’s dresses and went to school. That was in 1971, and as you can imagine, I got into a bit of trouble on that day and a few more times through the years.
I knew that I was supposed to be a girl at the age of 5. It bothered me that my sisters could wear such pretty dresses and wear makeup and not me. My parents would always tell me you are a boy and boys do not wear girls clothing. After that I started to lie and steal my sisters clothing and play dress up in my room when no one was around. As I aged and entered school I had a strong desire to kiss boys and told them that I was really a girl on the inside and it was OK to kiss me, even the girls hated me. I tried to emulate the girls but everyone thought of me gay. My life has been a living hell for 32 years.
I knew that I was different at the age of 11. I didn’t feel right in my own body.
i found out when i was at the age i am now im 23 i am transitioning by using hypnosis i am growing breasts and am looking like the woman i want to be i live with family and i refuse to tell them as this is my life and not theres the hypnosis i use is awesome it helps grow breasts and curves so that my story my name is Talia nice to meet everyone on here.
I’ve been dressing and desiring a deeper feminine life since about 14. I would have dedicated myself to transitioning completely had the support been available. Tawni
I was dressed very feminine as a child — I had aunts and mother’s lady friend’s who all treated me as a little girl–I thought of myself as a girl and when I started school was “told” that I had to use the boy’s room etc. I have been feminine all my life and even when I tried to escape it as a teeen and in my twenties alwasy knew I was a female inside
