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 was about nine our ten years old when I first realised that I was different from my friends. I was more interested in female fashion and it wasn’t until I was eighteen that I first went to a female cloths store and and an assistant for some advice on what to wear she was very helpful.
Hi sweeties,
Well I’ve know for quite a while I think around 8 when I realized what I was missing when my sisters had their slumbler parties. So when I started to figure out what was what and the way family values were I repressed and went out for every sports there were. And even knowing and still repressing joined the military and went on 10 deployments actually trying not to make it back seeing as it would have been easer on me and not having to disappoint the family. Well it never came to as I will be retiring soon with a great retirement and looking forward to being the actual me. So I’ve known for a long time. Its funny I can charge a hill, clear buildings, be first in and volunteer for deployments but the hardest thing I have yet to do is tell my secret. Courage is a funny thing. Some people have it others fake it.
Bless you Jenn. I spent 20 years in the service and know what you have gone through. Tough it out girlfriend. You can do this. Yes, it can be rough, but you come out the other side a better person. You’ve lived your life for society and you’ve served society. No it’s time to live for yourself. You deserve the happiness that goes with being the person you are. You were my brother in arms. Now be my sister in arms. You will love who you become.
That should be “Now” it’s time.
I was 6 also, had to wear tights and girl makeup for a play and didn’t want to take it off, then a girl I was mates with wanted to practice her makeup and I let her, then tried on bras and panties and nylon tights as well and loved it I felt like a proper woman.
I have known at least since the age of 5. I have no way to explain it, unless it is from a different life; but I can tell you that it is for real.
I was probably 5 or so when I first wore pantyhose and did so on and off for quite a few years. I started wearing heels, doing make up etc and even recently had my hair styled completely feminine. I love my feminine side!!
I was about 12 years old when I saw a pair of my moms panties in the hamper i picked it up and it felt so soft so I put them on. that was it. i use to steal womens panties off peoples cloths lines and then wear them when I could then i tryed on bra and nylons i wanted to be a woman so bad.
I’ve always been inside “my guy”. Public display was exciting but scary, and the humiliation of discovery would have been devastating. It’s a much different world now. Once we got on the internet, we realized we weren’t alone. We reached out, got support, and are really getting more comfortable. My guy has a great life…friends & fun, and that’s all I want. He’s letting me have a life too, and that’s very, very good for both of us. One week from today, I have an appt. at a beauty salon for a full make-up session, then with my support, we plan to shop for a quality styled wig and some jewelry. It will be my coming out. My very first face to face social interaction as Michaela. I’m a little apprehensive, but excited and determined. My new girlfriends have a whole day and evening planned. It’s finally my time. Thanks for the 10 tips, I need all the help I can get. Hugs, Michaela
