    a big reason that drove me was that I have a micropenis

    Fake. There are no “reasons to drive someone” other than their internal gender, this sounds like something a cis person who thinks being trans is a choice would say.

    Edit: I’m not speculation on OOPs gender

      Yeah, certainly seems fake. But I can conceive of someone that’s NB, fluid, or something else who is unable/unwilling to admit that to themselves or choosing to remain cis presenting for social reasons deciding to present as a woman due to a micropenis​.

      But yeah, fake.

      whilst this is what being transgender ‘is’, that doesn’t stop idiots from socially or medically transitioning for poor reasons.

      And your internal gender is something that you automatically just know? Have you always known? How?

      It seems like at some point, some external reasons may have been involved.

        We are born trans. The current theory is that it relates to hormonal fluctuations during critical points of fetal development, so the start is literally before you are born.
