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?

    Saying shit like “I don’t mind being a guy, but if I got magically transformed into a girl I’d totally be okay with it”

    Having long hair since I was about I think 8? And using it to cover my face because I didn’t like they way it looked

    When I was very little I asked my mom when we were clothes shopping if I could try on a dress, that didn’t go well

    Playing as a girl in Terraria and feeling both happy and very guilty about to the point where I asked my sister if it was okay for me to do that (thankfully she was nice about it and said yeah)
