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!

I am born in the year 1956.
I was only 6 years old when i discovered i was a girl. Ever since i have been on and off from my fem mode because of my marital status and my obligations to my family. When i was at my twenties i went through hell about my gender. I started to hate my self as a male and i really hated my genitals. I really wanted to cut them off my body because i felt they didn’t belong there. I started to get very depressed and at that point i started to drink heavily. Fortunately it didn’t last for very long time. I came to my senses and stop behave like a selfish looser. Almost all my adult life i have done my shopping’s mixed in the woman’s department and mens department but past 10 years only in the women’s department. I am started to be living fulltime as a woman. I want to live the rest of my life as the gender i should always have be and as the person i really am. I have looked very carefully of my self physically and mentally and kept my body in the best possible shape for many years. I am very much aware of my self as a woman and i want to look as good as i possibly can for as long as i possibly can. If you want to look good you have to work on it continuously.
And Rakel, may I say, You are looking absolutely wonderful
I realised that I was born in the wrong body at the age of 5. But I never had the strength of mind nor character to tell my parents.
I didn’t actually start crossdressing until about the age of 10. (Although there were signs of my crossdressing even earlier…for example putting on my mothers makeup, wanting to wear my sisters clothes when we played dress-up, etc.)
Would I want a sex change? No…not at my age with the other personal restrictions that I have on my life. Become a shemale? Yes. Be able to get dressed up and go out in public as a woman? DEFINITELY!
Knew I wanted to be a girl since forever and had a very nice aunt who let me wear her slips & nighties when I was 5. My dad went nuts when he found out & gave me a real beating, so I repressed/fought my true nature for years. I still wore my mom’s lingerie and dresses whenever I could, kept my own secret stashes of lingerie, clothes & makeup, always shaved my legs & went through multiple feminizations, including do it yourself HRT followed by purges through the years.
I finally transitioned at 38, beginning in stealth while married until I really couldn’t hide or deny it. I’m now a happy full-time pre-op on HRT for 5 years, 5’9″, 135 lbs & have a nice 36B-28-38 figure. My only regret is not doing it sooner.
when i started school. the last 5 years totaly dressed as a femle. spent the last 2 years tryin to find a therapist, with no luck
I began to be aware of how I felt when I was about about 4 years old as I remember. Over time I began to dress a little at a time but the more I experimented in dressing the more I wasn’t satisfied with an item or two I needed the whole look and be fully dressed as a girl to feel right. This left me very confused thinking I was the only one out there who felt like this so in response I did all the typical hyper-masculine activities to work this thing out of me such as sports, military the usual but all to no avail. I finally moved to California and found a group of cross-dressers and began to dress in public and now have I no trouble going out as a woman and have many female friends who can only see me as one of the girls which is so assume, but there is more work to be done before I’ll be totally happy but that’s half the fun I think.
After I heard about the show. I went up on the ABC website to look for the show. I could not find it. However I found a GMA spot from 2009, that was related or an earlier segment, to the show on Thursday.
My first recollection was about age 4. At 6 I remember trying on my sister’s Easter Dress and what an amazing thrill that was. I dressed in secret whenever I could and transitioned to full time in my late 20’s.
