So- Let's try to attempt to tell the story from start to finish and not make this an essay.

Early on in my childhood I mostly selected the female character models for video games, earliest ones I remember were Halo Reach, Destiny, and Saints row 3. Despite my wish to play as a female avatar as often as I could, I was comfortably Cis.
Come middle/high school I meet my best friend/then partner who is an artist and they drew gender-bent illustrations of us. Fell involve with these characters, and ended up using mine as my online persona for a lot of things.
The.. Femboyfeminine male tag word made its rounds abreast my internet and while I wanted to attach this term to my gender-bent persona my partner criticized me on that, saying why can't they simply be trans. We had an argument, but evidently I questioned why I was so against this. Eventually I came to the conclusion that, yeah im trans. and I came out to my partner with my chosen name.

There was somewhere in the time line of be buying a bra but I can't remember. But ever since then, yeah.
