    • wearing a jacket even in 80°F weather
    • being disappointed when my accidental assignment to the girls’ locker room was “corrected”
    • disordered eating to get rid of belly fat
    • fantasizing about being a woman
    • obsessing over female D&D characters

    I could probably hunt down a few more signs, but they weren’t obvious at the time, even if I felt guilty about them

      Same and same. I still do both lol.

      I never could put into words why I always made female characters in RPGs. I didn’t have the right words, so as a kid I went with the “I’d rather stare at a woman than a man” excuse.

        When I say obsessed, I mean obsessed. I spent way too much time thinking about their lives and their history especially when compared to how much thought I put into myself. It played into my daydreams and fantasies.
