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.”

There was that time I was watching the Ghost in the Shell anime for the first time as a tween and consciously “Man I wish cybernetic bodies were real so I could become a girl. I don’t know what I’d do with it though.”
There was that other time I discovered my
genital talk
perineal rathe and basically prayed that my parents wanted a boy so badly that they’d given me GRS and that maybe I’d be able to “detransition.” (though i didn’t have the words for this at the time)
And then as an adult I got to know someone through an MMO and
depressing rant? idk
when a mutual friend joked about me being their “waifu” they clearly reacted positively and though I was too closed off at the time to show it, the idea made me happy. I eventually developed feelings for them but I was afraid of being in another long distance relationship and though I never opened myself up to them in that way, a recurring fantasy at the time was that we could eventually meet up and “swap bodies.” (He came out as a trans guy after we grew apart but at the time he showed clear disdain for femininity in himself and I guess i subconsciously picked up on that.)
