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?

Cis straight guy here who wouldn't be surprised if time machine me is trans/straight.

I've never had any strong attachment to gender or any dysphoria. My sexual preference is feminine woman with big masculine man, and I happen to be a big masculine man so that pairing works for me. I'm happily married with kids, so that's working for me too. Even with that though, I still feel like I'd want to be a small femme woman like half the time, but only in a sexual way.

I know that if I transitioned I'd be a large masc woman (at least for a while), and I wouldn't like that. I'm also perfectly happy being a man, and it almost feels like a purely sexual thing, not an identity thing. As someone who is (recently self-diagnosed lol) autistic, I've never felt much attachment to any identity at all.

Are these normal cis thoughts?

now obviously i cannot judge whether you are trans are not and only you can decide that. but "i wish i could transition but if i did i wouldn't like how i looked for a long time" is a really common form of dysphoria

Sounds extremely relatable to me. I also consider myself autistic and find gender hard to understand. Before I discovered labels like agender, I never connected signs I'm not very cis, so I'd also just think my interest in having a woman's body was solely sexual (and later realized I was wrong). But like... women (and some NBs/genderfluid at some times) are the people who generally want to have women's bodies during sex (not just like one time thing to try out). But I don't use any labels like woman and would prefer not being seen as a woman (although that probably would be better than being seen as a man) - I mostly just want to change my body and escape expectations for men.
