text: I think I like being called a girl because I always feel bad that I didn't get to be a girl growing up. I don't know if I can say that I would trade my male upbringing for a female upbringing, I don't know what that would entail, or if that would be more harmful than beneficial. But I do know that it makes me feel very dysphoric thinking about all the years that everybody treated me as a boy. I mean, they still do. I haven't had HRT _yet_. But still.
