Me too. However, while I was raised and generally acted male, I've long known I was different. Even back in kindergarten, I was noticing things like seamed stockings and wondering about the "line" down the back of the leg. In grade 1, I told my mother that my new teacher wore stockings that didn't have lines, back when most stockings had seams. I had an interest in wearing female clothes and hated wearing a jock strap when required for gym. I "borrowed" my sister's tights and later stockings, starting when I was about 10 or 11. I browsed through the lingerie section of department store catalogs, wondering what it would be like to wear those things. However, I wasn't into dolls or playing with girls.

Personally my head always wanted to be female but the fear of rejection ridicule and violence stopped me from pursuing this for the last 40+years. I just hope I have enough time left to get to were my soul is waiting for me.

I also "started" very early also telling my mother and grandmother I wished to be a girl aged 4 and 6 and first tried a dress at 9. I liked playing with girls in a Wendy House ( I believe in US you may call it a Play House) and one specific item I can recall is that aged 5 I wished to button my coat the girls' way.
I wish you every success

Your story is so similar to mine; I buried and reburied and suppressed for so long till I was unable to as GD became so dominant and finally took action last year at 62. Of course it has only been possible the last few years here in UK to get HRT without public transition beforehand. Thank God we now can get it. Like you I started private treatment with GenderGP and now have Shared Agreement with my NHSGP.
I wish you every happiness
Hugs to you both
Pamela
