I began doing "trans" sorts of things before I can even recall. At the point where my earliest memories begin, I was already well into it. So how or why it all started is a mystery to me. I also never really had any dysphoria, I suppose because I didn't know there was anything to be dysphoric about. On the other hand, I sensed that what I was doing was somehow "wrong" & I compartmentalized it... walled it off from the rest of me. So there was my "normal" male me & the female me. And it's been that way ever since.
