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 knew when I was in kinder garden and I played with the girls
instead of the boys, I just wanted to be one of the girls so bad.
I can remember going to bed and wishing that I would wake up a girl.
Well come to think of it, I still do that!

April, This made me chuckle. I could have written the same thought. Keep wishing as I will also. 😉 can’t hurt, maybe come true one day.
I guess I was about 5 when I first realized something was different about me. I wanted to play with girl’s toys & loved to play house That Christmas, I wanted a Barbie doll, which I never got (at least not until I was out & on my own). I was forced to be a boy by my family. When I was 7 I was severely punished when I was caught cross-dressing for the first time. I tried dressing again when I was 13, with the same results ( I was beaten and grounded for 3 months). I was caught again, this time I was forced to go to work at my parents store (so they could watch me). I have always felt that down deep I was a woman. Currently, I still live in fear. My family is still very anti-lgbt, but I have tried to keep going until I can finally get far enough away to be free. I tried about 2 year ago, but with no luck. Maybe someday.
I’ve felt I should be a girl as long as I can remember, but the earliest I can say for definite was from the age of 5. My sisters have told me that from that age I was wearing their dresses & playing with dolls with them.
I have always known I should have been a girl from the age of above 5 years old my mum would always tell me should have been a girl I am always happy being a girl and
Wearing girls clothes and doing girly things
i first started sneaking into my Moms stuff when I was 11. For years I always felt it was mainly sexual even when I spent hours dressing, doing makeup and such. It wasn’t until I met another TV in my late 20s that I found it wasn’t the sexual release it was the whole feeling. Loving looking and feeling femme, carrying that further to being with men. I love everything about being femme, I try to live 24/7 as Missy.
I can honestly say I felt I was a girl at an early age. I was about 6 when I started wearing women’s clothing and felt right. But it wasn’t till my 20s when I started to really come out started buying panties and wearing them then it just went from there. More clothing got into make up. Now that I’m in my 40s all I have is women’s clothes and my house is female looking.
When I was about 6 or 7 and for reasons that were not clear to me then, I went through my mom’s dresser. I found many things, but my favorite was a spandex type black girdle that when I slipped in on felt tight and hugged my small body…..I was hooked. It felt like I was trapped in the feminine garment and I loved it!
Of course I return time and time to wear it and explored pantyhose, garter belts, panties and then I discovered her High Heels…omg! As I grew so did my dressing; never looked back!
