even more bluntly: What were those completely and utterly ridiculous thoughts that you had in hindsight that make you wonder how on earth you ever even managed to convince yourself that you were cis? I'll start:
I remember browsing through a bunch of trans memes on reddit (already very cisgenderly) and I kept coming across ones that were some variation on stepping out of a time machine to meet your past self as a different gender. For maybe about 2 months until I realized that it really was true, I admitted to myself and two of my close friends who are both trans women that i would just not be surprised if I stepped out of the time machine from the future as a trans woman. my only thoughts on that were basically to laugh it and say "yeah that tracks". Somehow I could admit that I think it's totally plausible to be a trans girl in the future yet still be 100% cis
anyone have any other fun thoughts like that?
there was always something slightly irritating to me about the idea of there being women's bathrooms and women's lockerrooms because as a cis man unless i was the janitor or something, there was literally zero reason i ever had to go inside there. there's something that taunted me about there being this room that exists in a building that only some people could go into but not me. i didn't feel like i cared what was in there (typing that out, i think i actually did) but like, "room i couldn't go into" always rubbed me the wrong way.
A friend and I visited a few girl's locker room or restrooms back in high school when they weren't being used and we weren't janitors, just explorers.
