Opening the floor to the MTFs and FTMs of the board.What was 'the moment' that you remember becoming interested in transitioning.I'm not saying that it was triggered by this, personally I (mtf) had always felt disconnected from masculinity and crossdressed since I was like 4.But I remember as a kid this one scene from the movie stardust became a fixation in my mind and made me intensely envious when I watched it at like 6.

I remember thinking if Toph can overcome her disability (being blind), I can overcome mine (being male).
My awareness of trans people is primordial as is my association with "them" as deeply shameful. Even as I dated trans people in my 20s I always viewed transition as something for "them" and never for me - despite being offered e by partners. It was bog standard that I'd make a "joke" about transitioning and get an inquiry. After about a decade of different people hearing my self-deprecating "jokes" and then asking "why not? Why not transition?" I met a girl who changed my life. Tall, stick thin, eating disorder, anxiety out the wazoo, terminally online at least when not watching anime or reading up on THEORY. I don't why she was the one who succeeded where all the other troons had failed. Maybe it was because we were so similar. Maybe it was because I wanted to get out of the rut I was in during the pandemic - constantly smoking weed and playing video games and not doing much else. When she asked me "why not," it all came tumbling out. Suddenly all the cross dressing and fetishes I had collected made sense.

When I first hit puberty around age 12, I had to wear a dress to a family gathering. Prior to this event, I have mostly been completely oblivious to the concept of gender, mostly spending my time with my aunt and playing video games online under my now chosen name. But when I went into the house for the gathering, everyone was acknowledging my chest growth and things related to my puberty. And thus everything came flooding into my mind at once. Call it ROGD or whatever you want but the dysphoria hasn't left since, and it's been years.>t. poon
I'd grown up with 2 brothers lcose to my age and would be upset when they would remind me I am a girl and they are boys. in all rhe like kids games like playing Lego I'd usually be a male character. of course my parents were v transphobic so I only even realised changing genders was an option when I was like, 14.

made one too many accounts pretending to be a cis woman and eventually realised "oh shit, would I actually want to be a woman?" then spiralled from there
>>43107784Never thought about being a woman, until I had a dream where I looked at myself in the mirror, only to see a woman staring back at me, which made me feel like I could actually breathe for the first time. Everything went downhill from there
