As someone who scores highly on gender ambiguity tests for both male and female stereotypical traits, it has never been an issue
At some point as a child I remember wanting to be a boy so I didn't have to worry about periods and could disappear into the wilderness
It wasn't possible, you moved on. I certainly would never have gone the surgical route, and left myself unable to reproduce or have full sexual sensation
There seems to me something very sexist about all this. This adherence to ridgid sexual stereotypes while purporting to subvert them. We even had m to f trans arguing they had 'female brains' until that was debunked
I was taught I could be whoever I wanted to be and that wasn't dependent on my genitalia. There was no reason to deny or philosophically reject my biological sex.

That’s great! My brother in law was born a biological woman. He identifies as a man. He looks, sounds like and to me is a man. He does take testosterone and is comfortable in his own skin. He doesn’t make his transgender identity a constant in-your-face confrontation or blames the world for any insecurities. He’s a great guy and I enjoy the time we get to spend with one another. @SW-User
