Reply To: What age did you know you were transgender?

I know this is a pretty old thread, but it seems like the place to start. My earliest memories of gender dysphoria go back to the second grade, around 7 or 8 years old. I remember wanting to drees up like all the cute girls, and it really hit when I met my childhood best friend. we hit it off instantly and I started getting upset when he would start getting the attention of girls down the road. As an INFP I was always a little femmy growing up and would get teased as gay often. The older I got the tougher I acted to try and hide my true self. It’s been a long road from there to here, so I’ll save that for another post.
