Very relatable, I had that experience a lot when I was younger and I was so confused why I thought that but it's very clear to me now why I did.

I don't know if there is a specific term for it, I think people would just call it having bottom dysphoria.

Yeah it happened to friends of mine, well I stopped being friends with them back then because I was a terrible person. I had lots of dumb transphobic explanations for why they "switched sides" but really looking back with what I know now. It's as simple as, anyone who "wants" to be trans just is trans. If they have a lot of transphobic prejudice they may go forward to "prove" it's a choice but they'll learn quickly that it isn't, once they're hit with the euphoria, or the dysphoria, or both. That's when it becomes apparent how little of a choice it is.

I have doubts of how possible it is to accidentally fake being trans. Back in my darker days when I hug out with terrible people (and also was one) I had friends who attempted to do just that to "infiltrate trans groups" and for almost every one of them it backfired and they ended up coming out as trans in one way or another.

So I think it's more likely to fake being cis than to fake being trans.

I had that too, I also just didn't know just how badly I wanted to be a girl until I met a really good friend who I learned was trans (and was also in the right state of mind not to immediately push her away), questioned my own gender, then experimented with she/her pronouns on myself and learned yup totally want to be a girl, really badly too. I also doubted myself a bit since I'd heard that you need dysphoria, but that didn't last long because I realized my chest dysphoria very soon after that.

Yeah but they said that hugging as friends is gay. Maybe it kinda is, but it also kinda isn't. I wouldn't care if it is though since I like hugs and I'm already gay anyway.

I'm grateful that after coming out and becoming a much better person I have begun to experience the feeling of being hugged for real. Even though I had friends before they never would've hugged me, they always said hugging is "gay" and I unfortunately agreed with them (though now I'm a trans lesbian so who's laughing now 😈).

Obviously not gay, just two girls who really like each other. Not gay whatsoever 😏

Congratulations, I hope you have a speedy recovery.

I remember this guy. I remember giving him way too much praise back when I was a stupid right wing bigot. I regret that deeply, he is a horrible person and this just goes to show it even more.

I don't really like chocolate much. I'll eat white chocolate, but milk chocolate and especially dark chocolate is kinda gross to me.
