I've heard of this from friends where people will feel like their assigned gender at birth but in a sorta trans way, like an AFAB person who feels like a woman but in an AMAB or trans way. They often identify more with trans people, so she would identify more with trans women than cis women.

We aren't sure but maybe demigirl/demiwoman?

This is the closest term I’m aware of

I resonate with this. I'm perfectly comfortable with my gender identity but I've always kind of felt like an imposter. I get along fine with guys, but I've always felt more 'at home' with girls.

Like, when I'm hanging out with guys I'm pretending to be a cis male, and I'm always aware of my demeanor, and try to match the energy of who I'm with.

With women I don't have to be conscious about it, I just speak how I want to and the only thing I'm worried about is whether they feel like I might be hitting on them or something.

Honestly, it's probably just a minor social anxiety lol
