Everyone seemed to know but me.
AMAB. Got accused of being girly, soft or gay most of childhood. Got called “lesbian in a man’s body” by friends in my late teens. Got a nickname that was a girls name on two entirely separate occasions, both were for years at a time. Never liked any traditional male hobbies. Long hair for half my life. No “normal” male clothes for that same time. My current colleagues have noted my “girly” hands and wondered if I am a transgender man. Wished I could wear tights, dresses and high heels for literally years. Gone to sleep after wishing someone would stroke my hair and call me beautiful countless times. Traditionally female role in a female heavy job. Been “one of the girls” throughout my life. Only last week did I say “maybe I am a woman?!”. Feel stupid.
