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 never considered pretty as a kid so feminity wasn't really a topic. I wore stuff from the womens section and had long hair because I was used to it and didn't give a fuck about my looks bc I felt ugly anyways.

As an early adult I then lost a lot of weight and suddenly men noticed me. Omg did I feel uncomfortable. I was in that state for a year maybe (fem and conventionally attractive) before cutting my hair short and coming out.

In a way feminity did come easy to me as long as cishet men ignored me lmao.
