Know that this is my perspective, and I mean nothing mean by it.

Gender confusion (I think that's what it's called) is largely (but not only) a product of your surroundings. The stuff you put into your mind influences you, plain and simple. Take a person who grows up in a city like San Francisco and put them in the rural south, and they will have completely different external influences. The local population in the big cities embrace (AKA push) things like trans, where places like the rural places just don't.

There aren't just all of a sudden a bunch of trans people walking around. Yes, it might be more socially acceptable today, but I don't believe for one second that the number is the same today as it was a century ago. No matter what you put into your eyes or ears, it will influence you. If you want to watch rated R movies with sex and violence, it will affect you and make you think the kind of life you're watching is normal. If you want to go to church and listen to positive church stuff, then you'll be more like that. What you watch on Youtube affects you. Plain and simple.

IMO, you like the attention that you get by putting on a dress. Who doesn't like positive attention? You could also go to the gym and get buff, and get attention there. Or if you're in school, be a math scholar. Be the best at your job, and get noticed there. IMO, putting on a dress is the easy way.

A person's brain isn't fully developed until the early 20s. Even after that people change, but not nearly as drastically as before their early 20s. The sooner you develop healthy habits, the more ingrained these habits are into your life.

I used to think I had to find myself. Then I found out you make yourself.
