I'm trans and absolutely didn't always know it. Because I didn't know it was something you could be unless you were a weirdo freak who wanted a "sex change" for "perverted" reasons until I was in college. Roughly half the trans people I've met who are around my age or older have said similarly. "Trans people always knew they were trans" is in fact a narrative that prevents a lot of us from coming out to ourselves, because we didn't always know, so that must mean whatever we're feeling, even though what we're feeling is literally "I am not my assigned birth gender," isn't being trans.

That makes sense, and I'm sorry. Was only speaking from what I've heard from people I know. And I never meant to say that was the only way. Only meant to say that gender and gender norms are two separate circles that overlap but aren't fully lined up.

it doesn't make sense. you don't have to pretend.

No idea who you are or what you mean? As someone who didn't know their own sexuality for years due to a massively homophobic upbringing, I totally get how someone could similarly not know something about themselves related to their gender because of where and how they grew up.

You're right of course but for me, as soon as I heard of the concept of "weirdo freak sex changes" as a kid, I knew without a doubt I wanted one, I was so relieved that there was anything similar in real life to what I had dreamed of forever. It's a very clear memory to me of feeling relief and longing as soon as I knew of the idea, even with the stigmatizing language around it. Interesting how different experiences can be, I don't mean to dismiss yours at all and appreciate you sharing.
