So, how many years now?

I am at 66 years dressing. Started at 7 and will be turning 73 shortly. Sigh?.

Playing dress up around age 5, would be 45. A few momentary experiments with my sisters dresses around 12 could be 38. But really understanding that I wanted to and actively, regularly dressing it is just one year since I realized this is a part of who I am. It?s been a REALLY great year in that regard. I like myself so much better as I have come to accept this side of me, and oh my God how good it is go feel pretty when I can. Being in girl mode makes me so happy.

Started around 7 years old in some form or fashion

I'm 67 now.

I have been experiencing different crossdressing situations since childhood but it is just last 7-8 years that I used to dress from head to toe as a woman almost daily. I am almost 60 now.

I only have vague memories of the early years. I was fascinated by my mother's clothes. Sometimes explored the dirty clothes hamper.

I have been a crossdresser to some degree for 65 years.

Since I first wore Mom's panties and bra it's been 70 years.
Since I first had a complete outfit of my own it's been 58 years.
Since I first went out in public fully dressed it's been over 20 years.

It's been a long ride and it's not over.

It's been about 60 years for me from trying on Mom's panties and slips. I'm certainly glad that I have my own extensive wardrobe now.
What continues to amaze me is how similar we all are in this regard and how that desire never really changes throughout our lives.
Bravo for us!

I'm approaching 78 in a few months. My parents almost caught me wearing my mother's dress at age 18, so that makes it a minimum of 60 years. However, I was into my mother's drawers for many years before that. I'll even not count when I had to step on top of the edge of the bathtub to take her slips off the drying rack over the bathrub, so, realistically add another six years.....maybe 66 years???

With all of your responses, now I know that I was not the only early teenage boy playing with Mommy?s panties back in the 60?s.

70 years for me, officially. I started dressing at 7 years old.

About 45 years since that fateful day when I first put on a bra.

About 20 since my first lingerie purchase - I didn't crossdress for quite some time because I was in denial.

60 ish. But does it matter. As long as I have memories, they have included cross gender issues. We are who we are. There is always further to travel in life, but enjoy what you have, until you get there.

I started at 3 with nail polish, so 73 years. I didn’t fully dress until I was 12, so 64 years since then. I was in my mid 50s before I was able to fully accept myself, so about 20 years since then.

For me it's 70 yrs but the last 8 months I have been transitioning

55 trips around the sun, it came on at age 8.

Sixty years. I dressed as a peasant girl, maxi skirt with off the shoulder blouse, at Halloween at age nine. The idea of dressing had been rattling around in my head since age five.

I wore my first item at 6 , and I am 58...that is a long time.

It would be 57 years for me. Went as a girl to Cub Scout Halloween and have been hooked since.

About the same, if I count trying on mom's clothes when I was 8-10 years old. But I stopped in my early teens, and didn'rt resume until in my 50's.

About 67 year. Came out to my wife a got serious in 2005

Started at 8 years old now 46 years old, 38 years

For me since 1982 so 43 years now and January 1st of 2025 I?ve been out 24/7/365 dressing I finally got the nerve up to be out and no problem?s at all and I go everywhere. I?ve been out 2 years 4 months now

I started with high heels from the toy box, but I really got hooked hard when I was 13 and I stepped into my mom's pantyhose (wow!). Therefore 54 years!

I am at about 23 years of dressing. I started in 2002 when I was about 2 months maybe into my 8th grade year of school. It?s been a wonder adventure to be on.

From the first time I put on a pair of panties, until today, we're looking at 49 years.
