I didn't know about the shirtless thing being a sign. I did have a time like that but I had assumed it was because I didn't like my fat body and later puberty body hair. It might have been more complicated that that 😅
I may have done something similar about the women thing too. Can't say about the dreams though.
Haha yup, I didn't connect the dots until I heard some trans folks bring it up a while ago, seen it mentioned a few extra times since. I definitely had some of the body image thing going on too but in hindsight there was some big, unknown discomfort I couldn't quite put my finger on at the time. I legit couldn't put into words just how deeply weird it felt to have my chest exposed and it bewildered people nearly as much as it did myself lol.
I forgot until later that somewhere nearish to that time I also felt weird about it because I thought somehow everyone messed up at my birth and thought I was a boy, but I wasn't and no one knew but me. 😂 I was young enough to not know enough anatomy, but the thought still 😅
