An inability to refer to myself as a man, and being uncomfortable having to refer to myself as a boy.

This one in particular is so familiar :O I was so baffled, like... "is it an age thing? Do I have to do something that'll make me feel like a man? Maybe it's a peer recognition thing? Aaahhh why don't I feel like I'll ever be a real man?!" ........ Tee hee turns out there's a simple explanation 😅

That time a friend called me our mutal friend’s waifu and our mutual friend played along which gave me (unbeknownst to me at the time) gender euphoria

Actually this one too. Getting "misgendered" and loving it should've been a big clue to me at the time 😅 Now it's just one of those things I see as a big crack in my eggness :D Really helped me hatch, eventually.

Also that's a nice name you've got there, Good Girl ;3
