First time you had a trans feeling?

I think my first memory is some time around 7 when I wore my sister's skirt. After that, I'd occasionally take some of her clothes and wear them when I was alone. During middle school, I realized I wanted to be a girl but I didn't think it was possible. Eventually I looked it up, but I saw it involved surgery and therapy and kinda got startled. It wasn't till high school when an online friend introduced me to one of their trans friends that I got properly informed and decided that's what I wanted. Funny enough, I went back to taking my sister's clothes for a while until I could buy and sew my own.

I was 5 when I started sneaking into my mom's closet. Thank god my dad never caught me at it, as it wouldn't have gone well. I found out later that my mom knew all along. She knew before I did that I was different than the other boys.

Hugs,
Donica.

I was 4. My grandmother routinely hung her pantyhose and slips up over the shower rod to dry after she washed them. I remember putting on a pair of hose and a slip (which swallowed me at just 4) and standing on the side of the tub so I could see myself in the mirror.

My earliest recollection was around 9-10 years old when I would lie in bed at night either praying that I would wake up in the morning as a girl, or fantasize that something turned me into a girl. These prayers and fantasies continued long into my teenage years as well.

I'm finding that I have a lot of repressed memories that I have dissociated from over the years. And now that I am coming to terms of self-acceptance, along with the help of my counselor, these memories are starting to eke their way back to the forefront. So, my trans thoughts may have started even earlier than this age and I just haven't recalled them yet.

There's a smattering of memories, like many others here, of various things when I was a kid.  I always played with the girls and learned how to talk like them, run like them, in elementary school.  My mom had silk pajamas that I would feel when she wasn't home and imagined wearing them but never dared.  I would nearly always be the princess or some other girl character when playing as a kid, would usually choose a female avatar when (rarely) playing video games with my brother...

But a vivid memory is when I was 11.  I had a friend a year older who came over often to swim, as many other kids did.  But I remember her wearing a bathing suit and seeing her newly grown boobs that probably weren't there the year before.  I was fascinated, but not because I was attracted...then that night I had a dream that I was the one in the bathing suit with boobs.  I don't remember waking up that morning, but I do remember being in the car that day with my mom.  I noticed for the first time that I didn't have the boobs from my dream and exclaimed "oh man!"  My mom asked me what that was about and I made up some little excuse I've since forgotten.

But the image of my dream is burned there forever.

Honestly, like ever since I can remember... would play dress up with my younger sister until I got busted by my parents and they went beserk. After that it was all done when they were either not around or sleeping. Felt "right" when I was dressed and playing tea party with my sister, now I'm much older, feelings are way more intense and just can't seem to crack that door, because I'm too much of a scared wuss.

For me, it was in preschool.  My school was divided into two classrooms.  The other class had a girl's dress with built-in panties among their selection of toys that I just loved to wear!  It wasn't very often that I got to visit the other room, but when I did I'd seek it out immediately.  Not only did I love wearing it, but it felt right!!  Since then I always wished I were a girl.  I didn't know I was trans until some 30 years later, but my trans feelings have always been with me.

That was at the age of four. I noticed the differences between my baby sister and me an thought something wasn't right. I tucked my thing away, looked in the mirror and thought that looked much better. After that I grew up identifying as a girl until I was nine. Before that time I only had girlfriends, went to ballet classes, wore lots of girlie clothes. After that I was bullied at school for it and went into hiding.

Mine was when I around 8 years old. Was watching Little Mermaid and I so wished I was Ariel :D. After that I watched Barbie movies (e.g. Princess and the Pauper, Nutcracker, Fairytopia, Mermadia, Diamond Castle etc.) and I've always felt empowered when I feel like I'm Barbie hahaha. But of course, all of these were suppressed because of the norms of society so that little girl in me was kept hidden for a while til I got educated enough on gender identity and sexual orientation that I've managed to rekindle that little girl inside me and embrace it.

Now that you mention it.. a lot of people are going to bash me for this, but I adored the 1997 animated movie Anastasia  :D. I remember watching it in the cinema so I must have been around 9 and I really wanted to be her (I mean, she was an orphan and found out she was supposed to have been a princess all along!.. I guess that's not too far off from being a boy and wanting to find out you were supposed to be a girl all along?).

[My IRL chosen name is not Anastasia by the way.. I love the name, and similar names, but in Western Europe it'd be considered a little weird. But now that I think about it, it's probably one of my first trans feeling moments too.. and it was the first thing that came to mind as a username when I was making an account here].

Now when you both mentioned this I start to believe I wanted be one of Sailor warriors (and not Tuxedo lol ) when I watched "Sailor Moon" in childhood :D Or maybe my memory playing with me. But I think it's true :)

See! Mainstream media definitely helped. So we shall support transgender visibility more and more in media to enable our future sisters to be part of us as soon as they can :D.

@Anastasia E, hence your username. That was already a premonition! I so love Anastasia. At the Beginning song always make me cry for no reason hahaha.

@Alice V
Well I've watched Sailormoon and I thought there dress up and transformation is very empowering too!
