There’s so much stuff that would feel weird and stereotype-y to see someone else do and think, “they must be trans!” but when I think back on myself doing them, my only thought is, “oh, so that’s what that was about.”

    My earliest moment was pretending I was pregnant all the time as a young child. From there, the next earliest would be my desire for girl toys like Polly Pockets and the like. Don’t know why it took me until I was in my 30s to fully figure things out. Even my wife had me figured out 10 years before I did.

        My wife took it very well as she is trans as well. She knew about herself way longer than I did though. We started transitioning at the same time.

        It sucks having figured myself out relatively late in life. At the end of the day, I’m just glad I figured myself out. Fortunately what I read about estrogen having a lesser effect so far away from puberty didn’t pan out for me.

        But yeah, I’d say that it’s all working out well and I’m honestly just glad that I finally figured out where my body dysmorphia was coming from all these years.
