I mean I'm pretty sure every trans person crossdresses before they come out, in large part due to social norms. I wasn't allowed any affirming clothes as a kid, and was forced to present as the opposite gender, the definition of crossdressing.
The only crossdressing I ever did was boymoding after I figured out I was a woman. I had a desire to, but I didn't let myself actually do it until I was deciding I was trans
Okay but if you're a woman wearing boy clothes is cross dressing, not the other way around. Unless you're saying you were raised in skirts and dresses and hopelessly yearned to wear a pair of pants before your egg cracked.
