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

[Rachel]

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.
