>nothing massively trans is gonna be in here tho
>Once told my sister i thought i might be trans
it doesn't get more trans than saying you're trans lol

for me (ftm) it's something like this:
>jumped at the chance to "pretend" to be a boy when playing things like house with other kids
>was WAY too into that weird 2012s mustache trend in pop culture (anyone remember that???) and would daydream about growing facial hair and draw it on myself and be so jealous that boys could grow it
>learned about the idea of female pirates/etc. in history that pretended to be men and proceeded to mald and be so jealous that i couldnt be a pirate "lady" pretending to be a guy forever
>my boobs took forever to grow and i got my first period pretty late and the whole time i was like maybe im really lucky and i just wont get it
>could only stand dressing up girly if it was for weeb shit like cosplay/j-fashion and i was essentially pretending to be someone else

>>43629108
> it doesn't get more trans than saying you're trans lol
Eh idk, it would be more trans if i wanted to be a girl. Like i fear i might have focused too much on the "trans" part back then than on just whether or not i wanted to be a girl (im still scared that im currently doing that). But who knows like i said my memory is shit.

I also dont know how long it lasted. For all i know it could have been sth that was on my mind only for like a couple of days or weeks and then never again until my late teens. Also i wasnt certain back then either, i just thought i might be/was thinking about it.

>was WAY too into that weird 2012s mustache trend in pop culture (anyone remember that???)
Oh yeah ig that could have been a big thing for ftms i hadnt even considered that lol.

> would daydream about growing facial hair and draw it on myself and be so jealous that boys could grow it
This also makes sense but as a (possible) mtf its kinda weird lol. In fact it reminds me of another memory i had and forgot to include: I recall watching some kids/tween tv show and there was a plot of a guy character growing his first beard hair and being super proud of it. And i was just kinda confused why anyone would care lol. Atp i wasnt like super averse to it i think, but i just really didnt get why one would look forward to it lol.

>fantasy cartoon world in my head starting around 6 yo where i was sometimes made to be a girl (this made me panic. no idea why lol)
>fascination with women’s clothes starting around 12~
>pretending stretched out versions of clothes would be skirts/dresses etc
>obsession with gender swap episodes in cartoons

none of this clued me off and i was psyopped into thinking it was all a fetish and i’ll probably kms over it.
every now and then i still recall new memories with this new context and have that little “oh…” moment

>>43629038
I didn't read all of it, I'm not even trans. I just wanted to say: I think it's sooo cute that you think about that stuff, do you think you might be fake trans? Because I feel like you are a pure soul and not some fetish freak. I hope you will achieve everything you want! You sound like a kind girl. Have a great life. Bye

>>43629236
fair enough. theres a point where you're like borderline moral ocd-ing yourself about the semantics of what it means to be Actually Trans vs somehow faking it, but its not like i can peek into your inner thoughts. still sounds pretty trans to me

maybe im projecting though i used to really freak myself out about whether or not i was """actually""" trans (whatever that means)

>I recall watching some kids/tween tv show and there was a plot of a guy character growing his first beard hair
theres a similar thing with girls in fiction and getting their first period. i remember reading it in a coming of age type book once and getting so freaked out about the idea i stopped reading it haha so ig the reverse does feel kind of weird

>>43629352
> theres a point where you're like borderline moral ocd-ing yourself about the semantics of what it means to be Actually Trans vs somehow faking it [...] maybe im projecting though i used to really freak myself out about whether or not i was """actually""" trans (whatever that means)
Nah u are not projecting this is very much what im going through currently and it sucks lol.

>>43629275
> do you think you might be fake trans?
Yes, constantly

> Because I feel like you are a pure soul and not some fetish freak.
Idk i have a lot of reasons to believe i might not be actually trans lol.

> I hope you will achieve everything you want!
Part of the problem is idek what i want.

But whatever i should prob not go too much into it. Everytime i make a post i eventually derail it into this topic cuz its on my mind 24/7 even if i try really hard not to lol. So for once ill try to stick to it and just keep this post childhood memories related as best as i can.

>>43629038
i had 0 tranny hints as a child. then suddenly when i turned 11 i started wanting to be cute and hated puberty and wanted to shave my arms and legs and doing gay shit. being under 10 years old was peak i just wanted to ride my bike all day long

>>43629829
Idk if i had any either when that young, like i said in the post these are from like 10-14yo so same range as what u said. From "true" childhood (ig < 10yo) i have almost no memories at all.

Altho my mom once informed me that apparently in kindergarten i liked to play more with girls than boys.

And i have one memory where i was playing with a friend and i was wearing like a princess dress/costume. No idea how or why that happened tho lol.

May have not been the only time too, i have a diary entry of my moms where she mentions sth like that and it sounds like it happened at least twice/multiple times.

>>43629038
(cont) I recalled a couple more now:

> Found an old screenshot of a game where im playing a female character named "Lucy". Pretty sure this was a name i considered back when i thought i might be trans @ like 12-14yo or whenever and also think that i dressed the character up like how i would wanna look. This name also keeps popping up in other game screenshots for a few more months iirc.

> Made a new pokemon save with a female character @ like 12yo. Tried to hide it cuz i didnt want my siblings to see i was playing a girl. Was a bit sad i had to delete the save since i was sharing the game with my siblings and the game only allowed a single save file.

> During a holiday my sisters were allowed to sleep in just a tshirt + undies (since it was hot af). I wanted to as well but wasnt allowed to which made me a bit sad (cuz i thought of it as like fem style i think (nightdress) and it felt like my mom didnt allow me to cuz i was a boy).

> Once wrote in a diary (that i didnt really use besides this one time) "I want to be a girl". Iirc i also drew some shitty feminine hairstyles in there as well (presumably cuz i wanted one but idk). A couple of days later i got paranoid someone would find it and i went back and ripped out the page + even a couple of pages after that so you couldnt tell what i wrote from the pen pressing through the first page :C.

> (I even found that diary years later and was sad that it no longer had that page in it. The hair drawings were still there tho + i could tell some pages were ripped out which is why i think it did actually happen)

> Vague memory of being at the hairdresser once and she said guys have a spiraly sort of hair structure and girls have a line (p. sure this is bs and just how short vs long hair behaves). But i vaguely recall back then thinking sth like "damn ig id have to get a surgery for that :c".

I remember maybe collective four weeks from before the age of 19 and even that vaguely. I sometimes have people bring up stuff from the past and i just feel like im being gaslit bc i have earnestly 0 recollection. Also sometimes i'll meet people on the street who recognizie me and go "hi" and i have to guess who they are and have a very autistic five minute exchange

>gravitated toward only girls in kindergarten to play with and be friends, teachers had to usher me towards the boys
>jealous of girls getting to wear skirts and cute stuff while boys got plain boring clothes (major preoccupation with underwear which i know screams agp)
>loved powerpuff girls and hi hi puffy amiyumi (also loved ed edd n eddy and naruto)
>loved getting my hair spiked up and temporarily dyed red or blue whenever i got a haircut (probably unrelated)
>largely indifferent and confused about my genitals, didnt even know i was uncircumcised for many years
>one summer complaining about how hot it was my dad said "you know you can take your shirt off, youre a boy", absolutely refused to, felt very very weird about it
>teacher handing out tampons to the girls in health class, i asked why i didnt get any, didnt know what she was handing out and subconsciously grouped myself with the girls, everybody laughed and i felt like shit
>wanted to talk to a girl on a field trip but they made a huge deal about boys not being allowed to go in the girls rooms, didnt understand why
>genderswap rp with first online gf, her as a boy and me as a girl, had names and entire design sheets for our "characters"
>early sexual experiences were traumatic lmao
>started reading humiliation stories at a young age, found one where a boy with my deadname gets stripped and dressed up in girls clothes, became obsessed with this author for years and years
>got fat when i hit puberty, always thought The Emptiness was due to that, didnt go away when i lost weight

>>43629038
I’m just fake trans so I had no sign I remember other than puberty making me agp and into transf fetishes
I already had those fantasies of changing my body into something else though but it became a fetish after puberty or pre puberty
I always like girl characters in showers and what not ig
Idk what else

>>43629038
>Apparently obsessed with Disney villainesses as a toddler (I don't remember this at all but that's what my parents said)

>Fought with my older sister to be "mom" when playing house

>Abandoned by a friend when I was 5 ish because I was "too girly"

>Called insane by a teacher at age 8 because I would only try and make friends with girls

>Started having issues with my face around then that got way worse after puberty

>Age 12 a few things happened but idk the exact order:
>Cried and prayed to God to not be gay because I imagined having sex with a man as a woman
>Discovered tranny porn and freaked out because it was terrifying to me for some reason
>Stumbled across Susan's Place and also freaked out for similar reasons
>Thought I must have been born intersex or that I was a girl in the womb at first but turned into a boy
>Asked my mom if I was supposed to be born a girl

>Had a "feminine male" phase a bit later
>Ended when I was reprimanded by teachers and my favorite jacket stopped fitting

>Tried killing myself at 14 because of weird gender shit

>When Caitlyn Jenner came out my initial reaction was "I will never be able to afford this"

>Had really really weird sexual issues in my first relationship (didn't have sex but had like a major guilt complex)

>Second girlfriend was a lesbian (later FtM)
>Asked me if I wanted to be a girl (I answered "I think it's too late for that")
>Painted my nails which gave me a panic attack

I'm AMAB, genderfluid, and not on any HRT just for the record.

When I was little, didn't know that men and women had different genitals, and assumed I could grow up to be either one. Was surprised when my parents explained I was a boy, and was going to grow up into a man not a woman. I just didn't make sense. (They still didn't tell me that the sexes had different genitals)

I used to get in front of my mom's nightstand mirror and try on her wigs, scarves, etc (this was back when even straight white women tended to keep a wig that looked identical to their own hair after a perm, so they could pop it on and instantly looked like they'd just been to the salon, so the wig looked exactly like her)

My Nana could tell. I had longish androgynous hair, she used to put bobby pins and barrettes and stuff in it, and sing "won't you come over to my house and play that you're my little girl" to me. No, it wasn't because she wanted a granddaughter and only had boys - she had a granddaughter the same age as me. She wasn't doing it because she saw the girl in me.

She gave me a babydoll to take home and play with. My parents didn't object, or at least didn't stop me, because they kinda knew too.

I remember having crushes on the other boys. Not sexual I thought they were cute. Like, puppy-dog cute. Throughout childhood I had crushes on male celebrities and cartoon characters. At puberty I suddenly became straight, and also a foot-fag.

After a couple of years of being called a sissy, a pussy, a fag, and everything else - I repressed all this shit hard. I didn't want anybody to know I'd ever been "kind of a girl". I was absolutely terrified someone would figure it out.

Anytime anyone brought up any of the girly shit from earlier, i would change the subject immediately, leave the room, etc.

In middle school when boys would smack my ass in the locker room, I was horrified they were doing it because they could tell.

>>43630413
>She wasn't doing it because she saw the girl in me
She WAS doing it because, I mean. FFS.

>>43629038
To be honest, I didn't really have jack shit. This kinda contributed to repressing for a long time after I had my first "I might be a tranny" thoughts. It's only that:

> I thought every man wanted to be a woman
> Asking out girls felt like a fundamental boundary violation even if they accepted, and I was relieved by rejection, nauseated by acceptance, and wished that women would ask men out instead
> I only ever had interest in lesbian smut. Zero men, ever. I did try to get into het but it felt hollow
> Contemplated but did not go through with being a femboy

Everything past about 18-19 is kinda just repper era, but I managed to gaslight myself into thinking I wasn't repping

>>43630258
> I remember maybe collective four weeks from before the age of 19 and even that vaguely.
Yeah im kinda like that too, tho yours sounds a good chunk worse even.

I failed as a male and also thought of myself as the women, start watching fpov porn, etc. Then I get dysphoria using my dick during gay sex….

Tbh I was a bit trans-evasive/freaked out by trannies even up to like 3 years ago. But then a lot of my past friends trooned out all of a sudden a couple years after Covid. Now I am trooning out.

>>43631187
Not to mention the fact after sleeping with 50 other men they all had bigger dicks than me besides another troon.

>>43629038
my friends sisters wanted to give him a makeover and just play dress up or something and he was complaining and shouting at them and i was just violently jealous he had sisters and i had brothers. i wanted so badly to do the things he protested, but his reaction made it clear i could never tell anyone. i think i was 8

>>43629038
I mean I was inescapably feminine as a kid, but I don't remember too much; my childhood was mostly trauma for being a feminine boy in the 90's. People sort of assumed that I'd become a man if I got bullied enough, so the teachers never stepped in. Nevermind the fact that I was smaller than most of the girls and very non-aggressive it was a crush the cutie/smear the queer sort of childhood.

>>43629038
Me next, these are all from ages 5-12

> Most of my friends from childhood were girls until the teacher forced me to do things with the boys
> The earliest book I can remember reading (kindergarten age) was about a guy on a ghost hunting trip who had to wear the ghost's wedding dress to bait her out because he was the only one who fit in it
> I got an ipad as a christmas gift from my grandma in the third grade and I had a secret folder of "girly" games/games where I had a female avatar
> Somehow found some conservative yt video bashing Finnish (or some other nordic country idk) gender dynamics (they were like super progressive for 2012ish) and wished I could live there b/c they let the kids pick which gender clothes or toys they wanted
> My favorite colors as a kid were pink and purple until I got made fun of for it and changed them
> Would pray every night (when I was still christian) that I would wake up as a girl or that next time I went to the doctor they would tell me I was trans (didn't know the word but did know that some ppl became girls b/c I read an article about it. I thought it was just bottom surgery and that was it though, and also that a doctor needed to decide it for you)
> Started hating sports and refused to play when they stopped being coed
> My first exposure to any kind of sexual content was transformation/bodyswap fetish stuff (AGP I know) and I read it for wish fulfillment before I even knew what sex was/masturbated (I only learned was sex was at like 13, I was really sheltered)
> Felt really sad when my female friends started to not talk to me as much in middle school
> My dad got me shaving cream and a razor as a christmas gift one year and I legitimately started went to my bedroom and started crying in middle of opening gifts

Obv I have more after 12 but that’s not really childhood anymore imo, and regardless of what you’re counting as “knew,” I knew by 12 anyway

>>43629038
>put my sweater/shirt over my knees pretending I have boobs
>Tucked my penis between my legs in the tub, always happy when it looked like I was smooth down there
>Played with boys because that's what was expected, always wanted to play with the girls though

>enby coped for like a year because i didnt want to admit i was trans

>was the shortest one in my friend group for the longest time and really liked it, then i hit a growth spurt and became a more average height. I didnt really admit it to myself but it made me sad.

>in my head i would always imagine myself as a nebulous, often genderless cartoon character. I had to much internalized shit to think of myself as a woman but i despised being a man.

>when i was in 4th grade i grew out my hair, i really loved it but got worried someone would bully me for it because it was "effeminate" so i cut it off.

>i hated wearing sunglasses as a kid because they felt to masc

>i felt my only attractive physical quality was that i was underweight which created an hour glass figure

>i usually wouldnt pick female characters in games because i was uncomfortable with how overly sexual they often were but when i found a character i liked i really attached to them (tron bonne, jill valentine). This also happened with tv (pidge from voltron, sabine from rebels)

>i had a "girlfriend" in like 3rd grade and im 90% sure the reason i liked her was gender envy

>first M rated game i ever played was saints row 3, i would only play it at the dead of night and spent most of my time in the character creator fine tuning my middle aged female character which ibplayed as "as a joke"

first porn magazine (my mom says she left it on the toilet intentionally for me to find). Mostly straight content with a bit of lesbian. Read the stories (yes, really) and imagine myself as the girls. It also had a two page letters section called Men in Heels featuring reader stories about their experiences crossdressing.

>boys and girls are equal. In my mind this means they are interchangeable
I had that cope for a bit too i think, but at an older age. Where i was like "well girls and boys can do basically all of the same things so really gender usually doesnt matter", may have been a cope for not being a girl but i dont remember.

> while spending the summer with my grandma, somehow convince her to buy me the girl's happy meal at McDonalds because the toy was a Barbie. It was a 2.5 inch hunk of plastic and you couldn't even brush the hair. Thanks Grandma, it meant the world to me
Awww that sounds cute af ngl

>>43632877
I relate to the psychiatrist thing, mine wasnt as straight forward but trans stuff did come up at one point. But eventho it was obviously troubling me she just decided to drop it after i insisted i was fine (it really wasnt i just had decided that it was too stupid and embarrassing to talk about. I also really wish i hadnt done that and its one of my bigger regrets, i might have turned out very differently if i had addressed it more openly earlier on like that...)

Also i agree with >>43633089 you sound extremely "trutrans" lol. Im sorry you had to go through all that and wait so long before you figured it out <3

in 2nd grade i imagined myself as a ballerina in a tutu, it lingered in the background but came to a head in 5th grade when i raided my sisters closet and started crossdressing secretly. I still keep crossdressing from time to time. Sometimes I have forgotten about it for years at a time, but recently I started reflecting on how it was always a fantasy of mine to be able to be crossdress and look good, so I got make-up and started leaning out. I've had tremendous progress and I'm very happy with how feminine I can look in the mirror. I wont troon out because it does live in a fetish territory for me and I actually enjoy my masculinity and my day-to-day life as a man.

>puppy girl foreshadowing
This is a bit unrelated admission but when I was 7 I found a seatbelt extender randomly lying around the house like one in pic. My very first instinct was to loop it around my neck and wear it like a collar to see if it fits (it had the perfect diameter to go around a small boy's neck). Mom made me stop wearing it though because it was weird and so I don't choke myself out of air.
Even if it squeezed a little where it should have been uncomfortable, it felt comfortable in a strange blissful way.

>>43629038
I was always a feminine child. My mother took me to a psychiatrist when I was 8 years old and they diagnosed me as probably pre-trans. My generous parents continued to support me and I was given blockers when I was 10. At 13 I was allowed to take hormones. I've never looked as a boy. I never lived as a boy. I lived as a girl all my life.. my body now is totally female at SRS when I was 18 and now have boyfriend

Also played princesses and knights with the girls in kindergarten (other boys couldn't care less) except I was never a knight in those games but their PET dragon, by my own choice. I guess I always had a habit of putting myself in submissive positions, which is weird as hell because where do kids that age get this kink coded stuff from when they haven't even developed gametes yet?

I've never done anything womanly in my life desu.

I'm MTF but as a kid I was smart enough to keep any desires or feminine thoughts purely in my mind because I knew if I acted them out or spoke about them I would be bullied by my peers and shamed by my parents. This makes it really hard for me to remember anything. In retrospect I got bullied and shamed and assaulted anyways so:

>Always jealous of girls clothes for having more options and colors than boys clothes
>Secretly hoped I had been born a girl and my parents had made me a boy without telling me even though I knew this wasn't true
>Didn't like talking to or being friends with boys at all, girls didn't want to be friends with me so the girls I was friends with didn't really like me that much
>Had dreams where I was a girl a lot, always happier in the dreams than I had ever been IRL
>When my body hair and facial hair first came in it made me want to cry and kill myself, but I was afraid to ask about shaving because boys were supposed to have hair and if I asked to remove it maybe my parents would get mad at me
>When I knew my parents wouldn't see I'd play girl characters in games for escapism, it felt wrong

Starting my transition now at 19 like a fucking idiot because I was too scared and depressed to get a job and start DIY, ~6 months on HRT and I do feel better but also really lonely, my parents don't like me at all anymore and don't want anything to do with me and my friends don't talk to me anymore either, no plans on stopping though. Also sorry if the post is fucked I don't do greentext that often.
