Yup. Having to rethink my past in the newly discovered lens of “Wait this is who I’ve always been?” was an eye-opening experience for me.

Like suddenly remembering a previously suppressed memory of being 10 years old and fantasizing about growing up and being able to get surgery to “be a woman” (I’ve always been a woman) and then being sad after then realizing that the only way to do that would be if my whole family died. (I wasn’t being murderous, don’t worry lol.)

Remembering that event and how painful a realization it was was a real “holy shit I’ve always known I was a woman but didn’t make the connection until now” kind of moment.
