Anyone else who confused their gender dysphoria as just normal things?

This is probably funnier to me than other people, but oh well.

Growing up, I used to fantasize about being apart of some absolutely awful accidents or medical misfortune and the only way for it to be fixed and save my life was if they performed surgery to turn me into a man. I was so convinced that this would happen that I would practice my reaction on how I would receive this and I'd practice a speech about how while this was a terrible tragedy, I would be better off for it. I actively did this from like 6 to 10. From there, I thought "what if I TRICK people into thinking I'm a boy??" I would cut my hair as short as my hairdresser would let me (still ear length, she would always go longer than what I wanted because "then I would look like a boy") and wear more masculine themed clothes and would get the biggest kick out of being "misgendered".

But anyway, my therapist asked me if I've ever had dysphoria and I went "nope" and then I remembered how I spent the majority of my childhood.
