Anyone else not feel girly enough? I can remember growing up feeling uncomfortable trying to look cute and wear makeup. It was like I didn’t want the attention. Like I was scared boys would make fun of me. Makes me wonder if I was self conscious or I didn’t like being a girl. I feel good about being a girl now but I still don’t love being girly, like trying too hard to look cute.

I liked being a girl and i liked girly stuff growing up. It was the outside world that made me feel insecure. Guys calling me a masc girl. My girl friends making fun of me because i couldn't wear makeup. Or my family acting uncomfortable with me when i wanted to be in soccer team and take lessons. People around me really triggered my ocd more than anyone.

You tend to focus on the story of trans people being self conscious but with a clear vision you should see all sides. The trans people who felt self conscious the trans people that actually didn't have any problem with ther identity growing up. The cis people who felt self conscious as children and even have thoughts about being the other gender for a moment. There are many stories, many different experiences.
