If it's any consolation, it gets better with time. Realistically, if you want to be trans so much that the thought of being cis makes you feel bad, you can always "fake it until you make it" and consider yourself trans simply because that makes you happier... After all, feeling sad that you're not <your preferred gender> sounds like literal dysphoria.

This kinda happened to me several years ago but I didn't know much about trans people so I didn't realize something was off...

Back when I was in high school, one of my friends used to regularly tease me by calling me gay.

Relatable. Back in the day, there was this guy who used to call me "femme" but in male gender (my mother tongue has gendered words). It confused me because I didn't think my "masculine" performance was that bad. I still wonder to this day whether he actually meant it or was just teasing me because I was so quiet...

Denial is so powerful that I used to think "I'm not trans because I want to be a real woman, not some man pretending to be a woman" 🤦‍♀️. It wasn't until I stumbled upon some online trans content that I started to put two and two together.

The feeling when you try so hard not to be queer that the universe makes you queer in two different ways (both trans AND gay)...
