>>Wow, so unlike the majority of trans people who were born as one gender or another, you got hit with both at once. How long did your life go on like this? Were there any early signs? I imagine there had to be, but you say you only began taking HRT at 27. From what I’ve read that is a bit later in life.

All of this reminds me of the femboys and trans wives in Ancient Egypt. Well, not so ancient. Maybe during the pharaohs time all the way till the 500CE and around there: to them, there was only male and female. But the way they split it was interesting: it was based on purpose and roles. If a cis woman acted like a man, dresses like a man, and fulfilled the role of a man, she would very likely be considered a man. Similarly, if a boy acted like a girl, dressed like a girl and fulfilled the roles of a girl, he would be considered a girl flat out.

I liked that idea, as simple as it was. Today there seems to be so much more unnecessary distinction. “If you don’t have X, you don’t belong to Y group” and things along those lines. Seems so unnecessary. People on their own are fine. It’s when they start getting into larger and larger groups that things start to get out of hand. You know, when they begin to follow the same thought processes and all dress the same way, and wear the same armbands and wear the same hats. They don’t think for themselves. It’s unfortunate.

You know I'm sad. I wanna actually reply to this but I'm going for my "In Water" ending IRL.
