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.”

My earliest moment was pretending I was pregnant all the time as a young child. From there, the next earliest would be my desire for girl toys like Polly Pockets and the like. Don't know why it took me until I was in my 30s to fully figure things out. Even my wife had me figured out 10 years before I did.

How did that work out for you, if you dont mind me asking. Im just intrigued by the idea of discovery in your 30's, and how your wife took it (assuming she is straight or at least straight ish)

My wife took it very well as she is trans as well. She knew about herself way longer than I did though. We started transitioning at the same time.

It sucks having figured myself out relatively late in life. At the end of the day, I’m just glad I figured myself out. Fortunately what I read about estrogen having a lesser effect so far away from puberty didn’t pan out for me.

But yeah, I’d say that it’s all working out well and I’m honestly just glad that I finally figured out where my body dysmorphia was coming from all these years.
