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 first knew when I was about 7. Starting at 6 my neighbor’s sister used to dress me and her brother up in her clothes. She used us as her life size dolls. At first I was against it but she made me feel comfortable and despite my alpha male upbringing. I remained a woman in the inside. It wasn’t until I was in my 30’s that I realized this was more than just dressing but it is an actual part of me.
When I was very little I would have fantasies about me being a damsel in distress like in some of the old movies. I have three older sisters and I would wish I could wear some of their clothes. Then latter on for some reason my little brother started sneaking some of their clothes and I was fascinated. I started doing it myself and I was hooked. Even my father catching me dressed didn’t stop me. I kept on dressing off and on. Even going into the Air Force didn’t stop me. My first wife couldn’t handle it and eventually was one of the reasons for our divorce. My second and present wife is very understanding and supportive. She has helped my with clothes and makeup. Finally I recently transitioned and now live full time as a woman.
I knew ever since around my 11 year.and at 14 I got involve actively sexually..didnt had much choices to dress since I was raise in a latin household.back tgen been a gurl with a male genital was not aceptable.thanks to my bf then.his suport and love for 5 years.my curves and little brest were develop some..everyone allways had me confuse with the gurl in the house wich dad didnt like much but ive loved it.lol..so we move from PR to US.nj.and ive became involve wih someone.female.i father 4kids wich i love with all my heart.relationship didnt work fir ovious reasons but no one till now know that im jenn.only people i get involved with intimately. I have a bf who is very suportive of me and even when we dont spend lots of time together i know he is there.as i am for him..i just love been Jenn.not a day i regret it..is a blessing been a woman.
My earliest recollections are pre-school (probably 5 yrs. old) when, during supposed nap time, I got into my older sister’s closet and started trying on her clothes. My mom found me and my only explanation was that I was trying to see how it felt. By the way, it felt great and natural … it still does.
I started to wear lipstick when I was 7. I used to watch in 2nd and 3rd grade when my teacher used to touch up her make up before lunchtime and paint her nails in class. I just had to try it
When i was about 6 or 7 my sister had a huge doll. The same size a me. It had a soft lacey dress and panties. I always wanted to try it on but was afraid, ashamed. One day when the urge was particularly strong I tried it on . It was wonderful. It fit perfectly . I loved it. I even snuck into my sisters room took a necklace and matching clip on earrings. I was in heaven. I was admiring myself in the mirror when both my sister and mother walked in . Sister was angry needless to say. And mom was , well the term heathen was used. That was in the mid sixties. I am now 54 and I still can’t seem to shake this shame and guilt. I’ve been married for 8 yrs to the most wonderful woman in the world. She buys me clothes, perfume, even bought me my first wig. Still this shame is so deeply embedded——just sucks.
Around 4 or 5 I began to have thoughts of not fitting in with my natural gender. Around 7-10 I knew I should have been a girl. By age 12 I cross dressed regularly whenever i got the chance. I am now 58 and have been married for 38 years to the most wonderful understanding woman in the world. I told her from the start about the real me, and she accepted me and made me hers. After we were done making a family she had a hysterectomy which really killed her libido. I searched and searched for something that would naturally lower my testosterone levels, hence lowering my libido. I found it. We are now living happily ever after as girlfriends. IT’S WONDERFUL!
My realization was when I was 11-12 years old. When I wore my sisters things it wasn’t for sexual gratification, it felt natural. I prayed God would change me into a girl, of course I knew that wouldnt happen. I have continued this desire for years, until recently never doing anything more then acting the part. I have started take products and my body is changing, my skin is softer, my breasts are growing and my desire to continue this is greater then ever.
