How long have you been a crossdresser, and how old are you?

[Cathy J]

Well, I'm 79 yrs old and have been messing around and/or dressing since about age 6 or so. The intensity has varied through out time but now the need is stronger than ever. I don't think I could quit if I wanted to so I'm justing enjoying the ride into the sunset!

Hugs,

Started when I was 11 or 12. It's been off and on ever since. 56 now, so total of 44 or 45 years. Wow! Hadn't given it much thought till now.

[Jenniferathome]

I'm 40 and have 32 or so years in panties. Never stopped, never wanted to, never will.

I first remember wearing a red dress with red ruffly panties for Halloween when I was 1 1/2 years old. Some one made a comment that I looked cute and that sort of stuck in my mind. With a sister 2 years older, there was always clothes around, but as I got older, it was no longer acceptable and I had to sneak around. I've had the need to dress forever, which has caused some problems now and then. I'll be 64 this year and still love to dress whenever I can, being married makes it less than I would like, wife doesn't understand.

I've been really loving it for about 45 years, really starting to do it in-house when I was about 9. At about age 14, the GG's in school were just starting to wear girdles, garter belts, and stockings. Skirts were short, and many would sit with their stockings and garters showing. I was hot for them and also loved wearing stockings like theirs. Pantyhose used to be a turn-off for me, but seeing pretty GG's in them changed my viewpoint. Then it was makeup, pretty shoes, especially heels, skirts, slips, and finally entire outfits in my 20's. I wish I had been brave enough to learn more about how to apply makeup then. I might have really been able to pass. I was in my teens during the longhair days of the 70's, and I would often get mistaken for a GG without ever trying. Long wavy hair, a small stature, and no facial hair made me look naturally feminine - to a point. I wish I had taken advantage of those days and opportunities. I doubt I could ever pass now and mostly just dress in the house, or only go out at night. But I still love it. I love that we can buy sexy shoes again, nice skirts, and I really hope hosiery continues to make a comeback. And I love this forum! Be safe, Linda

I believe I started my fascination with womens clothing at age 8 or 9. Started with wearing moms things. The desire stayed with me wearing articles of womens attire all my life. At age 45 I retired from the Navy and began to have more time to dress, this is when I began to dress fully. I am 56 now so I have been dressing for 47 years.

It's been 35 years now. One day I found myself home alone when I was about 10 and tried on a pair of "hot pants" and a sexy top my mom had. She also had a blond wig. I can't describe the feeling that went through me. Over time, I got more and more into it. Except for brief breaks, I've been doing it ever since.

Well, as I have mentioned numerous times before, my dressing began at age 7 when I was dared to wear panties and a dress. Having three older sisters I had plenty of clothes to experiment with and at 15 dressed completely (sans wig). There were numerous purges but I never really stopped. Even during my navy hitch I kept panties in my locker (under the guise of conquest), and would wear them under my uniform whenever the opportunity arose. During my two marriages I kept clothes hidden (between purges), and continued to dress in private.

I'll be 66 on March tenth and consider myself a lifelong crossdresser (starting at age 7) because there was never a substantial gap between my purging and re-dressing.

I was 13. It was a confusing time for me. I didn’t understand why I wanted to wear girls’ clothes. I just knew that I did. What started with a single article of clothing soon blossomed to full dressing at home whenever I had a chance. And while there have been periods in my life when I haven’t dressed, my preference has never changed. This summer will be the 50th anniversary of the day I first slipped on that one-piece bathing suit.

[RobynB]

53 years for me. I started with my mother's shoes.

[sonna]

[meichenchan]

I started wearing women's clothing around twenty years ago when I was 18 when I started wearing stockings.

[TGMarla]

I began when I was 12 years old. So I've been at this for 38 years. You do the math.

[BRANDYJ]

At age 11, so it's been 51 years now. Damn, where'd the time go!

[Jess Marie]

I'm about to be 19 and I think I started around 8 with the occasional panty raid and would throw on a bra for the heck of it. It's been about 11 years. holy cow! Thats like, the majority of my life.

[Julie Denier]

I'm 38 ... I remember clomping around in mom's shoes as a young boy. Experimented with pantyhose and other garments through my teen years, but didn't dress "all the way" until last fall.
