Whats some childhood signs you where trans? (just for fun)

[Midnightstar]

Not saying stereotypes are always correct this is just for fun and because i'm curious.
For me this one sign was more sexuality but when i was inside the car with my mom as a kid and i don't remember completely what happened but i told my mother to get me something and when she asked me why i told her because it was so i could kiss the girls. i was like seven or eight lol, My mother looked at me and i clearly remember her saying no you grow up to kiss boys not girls or something related to this. It confused the crap outta me and i shrugged it off. 

The trans sign was how i'd always ask my parents and grandparents when stopping at a restroom why i couldn't
use the mens room.

I find my sign pretty funny. I was afraid of getting pregnant and was also wondering how to detach my birth parts. I swear that it is detachable! at least that was what I though when I am like 4-5

[Laura_Squirrel]

Asked for a purse as a birthday present at age 4.
I always identified with female characters in cartoons that I watched.
Started cross-dressing around age 10. (Got busted more times than I could count. I fell off the ladder a few times as well.  )

Being thrilled when the neighbour boy's mom called me a boy and being sad when she "corrected" herself (I was 4-5). Being thrilled when extended family described me as the boy my grandfather never had (he had 3 daughters). I was allowed to choose my activities and my family wasn't big on stereotypes so mine all had to do with being recognized as a boy. Which is what I want most now, to be seen and treated as a guy...

My washing list

All my friends were female, and/or gay (and on the femme side).

I used to practice fluid movements, all the time, so that they would 'look nice'.

I would secretly cross-dress, and lived in gorgeous dark green dungarees, with a red Paisley shirt.

I love horse riding (animals in general), needlework and cooking.

I have always (as far back as I can remember) read women's magazines.

Could not relate to and had no interest in competitive sports.

Physical dysphoria, hate the way I have an 'outie', and to this day am hyper aware. Changing rooms at school were hell.

Self harm. Yes, I still have my kit. It's been many years thankfully.

In establishing relationships, I lived in the friend zone. Always. Until I met my SO, who has her own little closet, she and I get along just fine (even if roles are fluid )

Questions started in my mind when we did a bunch of 'for fun tests', and I always came out as 4 or 5 times more female than my SO....

Just call me cliché

Praying that I would wake up being a girl, at age 7 or thereabouts.  I attended a religious school, and one time the teacher had us all pray, then went around the classroom asking what we had prayed for.  My answer earned me a yardstick broken across my wrist.  Now I'm agnostic bordering on atheist.

Good times back in the 1950s...

The first ones that come to mind were acting-related. From as early as I can remember, I was frustrated at not being allowed male parts in little school or church productions. No, I don't want to audition for Mrs. Claus, I'm only interested in Santa. No, don't change the gender of this part, I can be the king just fine. And so on. It wasn't so much that I needed to be a boy as that none of that applied to me. I couldn't understand why they thought I needed to play a girl or that people would be confused if I didn't.

[Emileeeee]

Let me count the ways.

1. Praying that I would wake up as a girl every single night
2. Trying to forcefully remove my genitals since praying obviously wasn't working
3. Using a bath towel as a skirt around age 5, pillowcases too, and later using actual clothing
4. Absolutely nothing in common with boys. All friends were girls. Got along with female cousins, not male ones.
5. Getting my sister in trouble when I stole my mother's makeup
6. Didn't realize the relationship at the time, but in Sunday school they would pass around a mirror to show us how pretty/handsome we were. It bothered me so much, I started cutting Sunday school class.
7. Having what my father would call a strange aversion to removing my t-shirt at swimming pools and beaches
8. Getting in trouble, a lot, for not being masculine enough, even when I was trying to fake it.

The clincher? When I was 12-13, I though I could develop into a woman. Full-on change, penis goes away, I'm left with full working uterus and vagina, no sign I was ever male.

[sparrow]

1) most of my friends were tomboys
2) At the age of 4, I learned about sex from a boy who had overheard something, and I decided we should try it out.  He was a little uncomfortable with the idea, so I volunteered to bottom.  What we did wasn't even remotely sex, but the analogy is sound.
3) I learned to sew, braid, cross-stitch, etc., and I was proud of my gender-bending ways.
4) I could keep up with the girls at jump rope, rings, bars, etc.
5) I was never competitive and I hated sports of all kinds
6) Tucking in a mirror looked good, so I tried my mom's dress on.  Disappointment: I looked like a boy in a dress, not a girl. 
7) I always found it weird that boys and girls didn't get on better -- I had boy friends and girl friends, why didn't anybody else?

later in life...

1) after puberty, I only wore baggy black clothing; I began taking pride in my filth and stench at the age of 21.  Budding dysphoria?
2) I was never any good at approaching people I was interested in, and frequently implored my female friends to ask out their objects of desire.
3) I'd occasionally shave things, with the hopes that a girlfriend would be impressed / interested / turned on.  Noooope.  Kept trying, sometimes multiple times with the same girlfriend.
4) Discomfort with the fact that my friends are mostly male, and that my libido and low impulse control kept scaring off potential female friends like whoa.
5) Overly proud of how "secure in my manhood" I was... I'd do girly things just to show off how... manly... huh.  Yeah, that.
6) No attachment to my "manhood" -- didn't care how big it was, was crazy proud of getting kicked there and taking it like a champ, never seemed to mind when others talk about getting hurt there.

[big kim]

Wanting to start a new school as a girl
Hated boys haircuts
Football & other sports were only a minor interest (following Blackpool is enough to put you off for life!)
Wishing I was French so I could be called Jean
Wondering why other boys were terrified of Miss Bennett making them play a girl's part in school plays
I turned into a monster at puberty, dropped 20 places at school, was regularly fighting though I didn't like it and didn't give a rat's ass about anything or anyone including myself.
Skipped meals, got drunk every weekend and self harmed for my last 4 years at school
Always enjoyed reading my sister's comics & Mum's magazines
My Grandmother would often give me girl's books

[zirconia]

Here are some.

As a toddler I couldn't bear to have to dress up as a troll instead of a fairy.
I cried when my parents first bought me boys' underwear.
I couldn't understand why boys at school shunned girls.
When I read a book about a princess turned into a boy, I wished I'd discover I was under a similar spell.
I loved being warned by a hairdresser I went to as a child that if I cut my hair much more I'd look like a boy.
In school shower rooms I was aghast to see older boys' genitals develop, and fervently hoped I'd never become like that.
I couldn't understand why boys in books wanted to grow up quickly into men.
I couldn't understand why people thought boys shouldn't have pretty fingernails.
I couldn't understand why I was called gay and shunned by boys at school.

The earliest sign of 'transness' i can remember was once in daycare we had this photographer come in to photograph us; but we had to dress in victorian clothes (so dresses for the girls and trousers/shirts for the boys). I threw a tantrum because I did not want to wear a dress and finally they gave in an I was allowed me to wear the boys option .

The earliest sign of 'liking girls' was when I was around 7 and invited a girl from my class over to use our paddling pool. I can't remember the reason but I asked her for us to change together in my parents bedroom and I remember staring at her quite a bit; yeah... . In my defense when the girls in my class had to change together to use the school pool I never looked .

Then when I was around 8/9 I asked my hairdresser for a boys haircut (don't know why that was pit into my head) so she gave me a book with female short haircuts. I felt uncomfortable choosing one because I wanted my hair to look like other boys my age; so just ended up saying just cut an inch off like usual. I didn't have the courage to get a male haircut until I was 19.

Through secondary school I hated wearing the school uniform  (skirt and a blouse and jumper if it was winter). I felt constantly uncomfortable and always wore my jumper even if it was summer to cover up my chest.

[Meowt]

I think the most obvious sign from me when I was younger was getting all my hair cut off around age 8 and beginning to wear boy's clothes (thanks to my utterly oblivious mother).

Whenever I got my haircut my mum would remind the hairdresser to keep it somewhat feminine, which I protested and hated.

I never linked to gender much as I didn't get physical dysphoria until puberty, and my parents let me do football, karate, wrestling ect.

No wonder my parents had no clue because neither did I until I realised my body was developing wrong, before then I just thought it sucked if I couldn't do all the boys things.

[purplewuggybird]

I would get so frustrated when I had issues not being able to have friends that were girls!!!

My only sign was hating boys haircuts and wanting mine too grow out and my dad saying no boy of his5was going too look like a girl. When I hit puberty the short quit coming off due to breast development and the other boys noticing I had breasts and the fight was on. I'm neither fully male not fully female,I learned too walk a delicate line. Never played sports,all I seemed to do is read everything I could get my hands on,I prayed alot too be transformed fully into a girl. But growing up we were allowed too do our own thing without hardly any adult supervision.

[link5019]

For me, I only ever had friends who were female, I just connected more. When it came to TV shows I would identify with female characters, but I never really said anything, because something told me not to. I also would have fun playing with female toys (when I had sisters and they got toys) over some of the toys I would get, again I would hide in my room away from my parents so they didn't know. I tried to detach my sex parts because I thought I could and it didn't feel right. My parents choose not to remember the last one. Any of my friends would tell you that when they first met me they brought up how feminine I was to them. I was always more quiet, and I got jealous of females being able to have sleep overs and hang out and I couldn't because I wasn't seen that way, so my childhood was devoid of any kind of friends over and my parents never questioned it. I got jealous of clothes girls got to wear but I never did because it would be seen as wrong. I always threw a fit when I had to get my hair cut because I hated having my hair short and boyish. I wanted to grow it out but never was allowed until now. These are the ones that come to mind, and well my parents ignore all of these or have tried to say I'm wrong, because they are pretty unaccepting, but anyways, yeah that's my list. I'm sure there are a few I'm not remembering but yeah.

My signs were mostly all internal after my parents told me I was insane.  I became the penultimate character actor playing the part they wanted until it all exploded from being suppressed so long.

I didn't "know" anything about who I was until I was in my mid-40s so the clues that I had back then didn't help me figure that out. Now of course I can see the significance of them.

1.  I Started acting out in my early teen years and almost landed myself in jail a few times because of it.
2.  I did very dangerous stuff with little regard to the consequences.
3.  I started drinking heavily at 16.
4.  I knew that I was "different" and that I didn't fit in.
5.  I got lots of bullying from everyone for reasons that I could not fathom. It was made clear to me that no one wanted to be my friend. That left me isolated and alone pretty much all of the time.
6.  I did not understand other guys and I didn't share most of their interests so I had very, very few friends and most of them were the other weird outcasts that didn't fit in either.
6.  I hated being directed by my ex into the room where the men were when we arrived at social gatherings. I liked being with the ladies but that was never allowed.
7.  I was never comfortable taking the man's role when me and my ex were being intimate.
8.  I was sterile and we could not have our own kids. A doctor I went to told me that I had abnormalities on my testicles. I suspect that I was possibly exposed to DES or some other endocrine disruptor, or possibly my mother took overdoses of birth control pills trying to cause a miscarriage.
9. I could not throw a baseball with any accuracy to save my life.
10. I was physically very, very small for a male until I reached 27 and then I had a growth spurt.

One day after I had turned 40 I got tired of putting up with all of that and I started searching on the internet for any information that I could find for reasons why my life was as it was.

One thing led to another and my past suddenly began to make a lot more sense. And now here I am.

[RobynD]

So many ways;

1. Wanted to mainly hang out with girls
2. Liked stereotypically girl toys, barbies, Ken and GI Joe all had a happy if somewhat dysfuctional family in my toy box and loved to "play house". Wanted an easy bake oven so bad and never got one
3. When playing sports, i would imagine myself a girl athlete
4. Was sometimes teased for being feminine or acting "aloof" from boys, and i remember thinking to myself, "how i am supposed to be? " " i don't want to act like those guys "
5. Wanted to "play act". Came up with elaborate stories that had elements of romance, danger and discovery.
6. Loved to be around my sister and her things
7. Imagined romances with both boys and girls
8. Loved stereotypically girl TV programs and movies.
