MODERATORS
for me it just kinda gradually happened.
i never thought too much about my gender identity, honestly. i just did what i thought made be look nicest in the mirror once i realized i have to take care of myself instead of relying on mother.
at some point i thought of, "what would i look like if i was a girl", then decided that the concept of being outright female actually kinda sounded nice, and then just kinda went with that. when i told others, pretty much none of them were surprised hehe (i live in a VERY trans-/queer-positive area).
there was never really a "moment" for me, i didn't ever change super suddenly. i still love motor racing, i still lift weights, i still love lots of other traditionally "masculine" stuff, i just happen to also now be girl. :)
the main thing that pushed me was puberty. when i was a young boy, i looked AWESOME, and i still maintain that to this day. however, when i started going through puberty, i think it was how not good i looked that pushed me to start caring about my appearance, which eventually led to me just throwing in the towel and becoming a girl, cause like there was NO way i could ever look good as a guy with my body.
interestingly (or realistically, quite unremarkably), i only felt any bit of dysphoria quite a bit after even figured out i enjoy being female. it is what pushed me to start HRT.
