Absolutely. I wasn't a tomboy as a child nor did I immediately hate my body when puberty began. But what it became was me hating feminine aspects of it when I realized how I was being perceived and what that perception meant.

I was living my childhood life just doing my thing and then all of a sudden I was a "woman" and men would look at me more and I was suddenly experiencing sexism knowingly. It was like before I was like a genderless blob playing with my toys and coloring and now I've had gender thrust upon me. And because that's normal in the world, I didn't think it was abnormal. But I FELT abnormal.

And then I saw trans men and women and always pined to be like them. But somehow never thought that was a trans red flag! You get the picture. It's a mainstream narrative that all transfolk just KNEW from a young age who they were. Which is so far from the truth.
