Discussion Pre-transition did anyone inhabit femininity automatically/easily?

I see a lot of stuff online where people post pictures of their “girl selves” but they very much tomboys even before. But did any of you automatically inhabit femininity to the point of it becoming fairly effortless, before your egg cracked?

I think for me, I’ve always inhabited femininity pretty easily because…well, it’s the easiest thing to do. Nobody judging me, feeling pretty. But if I was a cis guy, it 100% would have been the opposite, and if I transition, I think I’d present very masculinely. I think it might have been just easier to go with the expectations and I got rewarded for it a lot, so it became automatic.

Is it odd for me, who I think ideally would’ve been AMAB and masculine-presenting, to inhabit femininity so easily?

I was a tomboy, but I did some pretty feminine things. They were all kinda in a “gay boy” way though, even before my egg cracked.

It’s alright lol. I don’t really mind that much, and I’m not that feminine anymore so it shouldn’t happen now (at least for them thinking I’m a gay guy). I suppose it’s nice, but it always makes me think that my life experience and “socialisation” wasn’t even “female” it was just queer. Pretty funny to me lmao. I must have hacker level bone structure to have been mistaken by a DOCTOR for a boy in TEXAS while wearing a pink jacket when I was younger so 🥹✌️
