At what age did you ladies realize that you were girls?

I just kinda grew into it. It showed up in who I played with. My preference for toys, the games I played. At 11 my brother called me "toots". At 18 he called me "tits". When I was old enough I edged away from home. Life is a process.
Boys would play with me at 5. They drifted away. When I was 25 they were interested again.

I was 3 when I knew I was different. I have many memories of dressing in my sisters and mothers clothes b4 I started school at age 5. When asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I always had to bite my tounge and not blurt out A GIRL! or female impersonator. Seeing the few female impersonators on television back then (way back then) helped me to realize I was not alone.
