So the best way to do this is probably to start from day one. Nah just like short things that may have alluded to my future when I was a young child.


Background:

I come from a super conservative family who had absolutely no influence on me being trans and they actually pushed me away from it but we'll talk about my coming out story later. 


Disclaimer:

If you experienced any of these things it doesn't automatically mean you're trans these were just things that could've possibly alluded to it for me personally. 



Four years old:

There is a video of me on the family video camera saying, "Mom look, look mom I'm a boy mom." I was playing war with my friend (male). This was something we did quite often and it was a shocker. After I say this you hear my mom say, "Okay, (deadname) it's time to go inside" frantically even though it is light outside and curfew was dusk.


Childhood:

Tomboy to an extreme I packed before I knew what trans was before I knew what packing was. I literally had juggling balls I'd shove in my shorts and pretend was my dick (don't judge I was like seven)


Childhood 2: 

I always played the boy characters in games and claimed they just "looked cooler" but it was because I wanted to look like them. I always felt that disconnect between my body and my brain it was just more subtle back then.


Childhood 3: 

My mom made me get girl friends because I only hung out with guys and played basketball and airsoft. (The girls are actually some of my best friends to this day I mean like practically my sisters but still the point is driven I only hung out with guys on my terms). 


Childhood 4: 

People always thought I was a little boy and I would always feel pride in being called a boy before I knew what trans was like I found out in 7th grade what it was this was wayyyyy before that. Even with long hair they called me a little boy seriously because I looked like a boy I tried to.


Childhood 5: 

I was pissed when I wasn't allowed to take off my shirt to swim and after my mom left I always did anyway until I started developing breast tissue there and I couldn't because i understood the implication. (That day sucked and I stopped swimming)


Childhood 6:

I was really into skateboards and bmx like I knew all the bike tricks and I got a boy bike because I told my mom it was better for tricks on (for the record it was it had pegs and the girl bikes didn't)


Childhood 7: 

I just really hated anything girl after I developed  a mind to dress myself and do my own thing I always went masc. I didn't even mean to.


So these are just a few minor things and like these don't mean you're trans you can just be a masculine girl.
