i also thought i wanted to be a boy, had my hair chopped short and was pleased whenever somebody referred to me as “mate” or “he”. family begged me to be more girly but i wasn't having it. i gave away, or threw away, all my jewellery and nail varnish.
after having to go on thyroid meds, i lost a ton of weight, stopped contact with the young woman who influenced me and realised that the way i dressed made me look worse. i'm tiny, with small hands and a small frame, so i looked ridiculous in men's clothing. i've kept the short haircut, wear bras like binders but not quite the same because they're the only type that are comfortable *but* i've re-stocked my jewellery, am obsessed with my nails *and* enjoy seeing drag racing and hairy rock bands. i watched an f2m docu, where said girl loved similar stuff, who was throwing away all her girly clothes and insisting her parents looked at binders with her, and i nearly cried.
