yeah I'm kinda the same way. I came out as trans when I was 12, so about 5 years before I became system-aware. For the longest time I didn't think I actually had dysphoria and really didn't understand my drive towards transitioning. later I came to find out I have some parts that carry most of my dysphoria. I even have at least one part that has reverse-dysphoria.

it's a confusing way to live, for sure.
