How old where you whe you realized you where transgender?I was 15yrs old.

18 years old, or maybe actually 16 or 17 when I figured I was nonbinary or genderfluid. But it was this year(when I'm 18) that I realised I was ftm trans

I was 13 years old though I showed signs of it dating back about as far as I can remember.

I knew something was wrong when I hit puberty about 12 or 13, but I didn't have the word for it until I was 18 or 19. I'm 24 now.

Don't worry if you weren't textbook from age 1 - especially if you're of my generation; gender roles weren't as enforced pre-puberty as they were for people growing up in the 60s/70s or 80s, at least where I was raised, which is maybe why some of us don't have the classic stories. I have a lot of brothers, but because I was the boss, they played with "girl" toys instead of me playing with "boy" toys.

This may not be what you asked.

I ACCEPTED I'm transgender at 21.

Before I accepted it, I had thoughts and desires, but I surpressed them until very recently.

I'm not sure if realizing and accepting is the similar enough.

I had a feeling that I was supposed to be a female I am 47 will be 48 tomorrow. I always thought I was just a crossdresser till I started going to therapy. I was sexually abused when I was 13 by my father repeatedly no one ever knew about it.But both my parents are dead and gone now I know he can't hurt me anymore but I still have nightmares about it.I was always close to my mother and I guess I try and be like her.

Your Welcome, And Thank You For Asking This Question. 

I Didn't Know Others Realize Their Trans So Late In The Game.
I Always Hear Stories That People Knew From A Single Digit Age.

I was 32. I believe I wasn't trans for years before that, and then it sort of crept up on me. People change.

(I started transition within a few weeks of the realization, though, and was done 11 months later. I was very, very sure once it did hit me.)

How are you supposed to know at a single digit age?I think for some it comes later.

Some appearantly do, they're the ones I hear about alot.
I had wonder why it toke me at 21 to siggure things out.

Some children know as early as age 3. I didn't understand it until I was age 13 but I acted like a girl in my normal behavior but I was brainwashed to be a boy. Everybody told me I was a boy so who what I to argue with them. I spent the early year trying to understand how I was supposed to behave instead of letting it come naturally.

14 years old when i found out from myself, but definite signs from 13 on, and fainter signs before then.

I knew I was different when I was young, but I didn't have a word for it until recently.
I gave up trying to figure it out years ago and just thought of myself as me.

Accepted I was transgender at the good ol' age of 28, but thinking back I had signs dating back to when I was 10. When I found out my bone age was that of 7 years old, as well as almost cutting off my penis because I felt like it didn't belong there.

I identified as a tomboy from the age of 5 or 6, felt feminine etc. there are signs going all the way back. By 13 or 14 I had learned the word transgender and about transition. I tried to accept it until my first suicide attempt at 16. By 17 I was fighting it. I reached self acceptance at 36, now I couldn't be happier, I'm a tomboy again!

4 was when it first showed itself , but not until puberty did I realize it.

It was a month before my 22nd birthday when I realised I was, well, am transgender. If what my family members say about me has any truth to it, I exhibited signs of not conforming to my assigned gender for a lot longer than that (around as young as five). When I came out to them, it seemed like everyone else already knew. I guess I'm a bit slow on the uptake when it comes to things closer to home. It's not an unusual thing for me, at any rate, just wish I had woken up to myself a bit sooner, might've saved some wallowing. Perhaps it was for the best though, by realising at a later age I saved myself years of gender related depression. I already had depression related to other things, but hey, it could've been worse.

That I realised at all is good enough for me. Don't think I would've enjoyed the life I would have lived if I continued to be "blissfully" unaware. Not sure it would've lasted much longer either. Anywho, enough about me. This was an interesting thread to read, thanks for posing the question.
