    Plenty of factors, but a big one that steered me head on towards realization was getting increasingly annoyed by what people expect from me for being AMAB.

    From there it was only a matter of figuring out where this annoyance came from.

    Things like „I’m allowed to like XYZ as a man“ were a good step, but the as a man part is what continued to feel off, so that was one of the final pushes to get to the bottom of it all

        Oh yeah, it’s important to separate these things.
