I'll go firstt:

1: Regularly thinking that girls got all the cute clothes
2: Buying female clothes (skirt and some underwear) for "cross dressing"
3: Feeling physical pain when having to put off bought female clothes to go outside
4: Imagining yourself as the women in porn (that's why I at first though I was "just gay")
5: Being sad when thinking about trans people and realising I couldn't transition because I'm not trans
6: Absolutely suppressing every form of thought when thinking about "the trans topic" (in a way that sometimes I reflected myself and thought that I may be trans, but I 100% suppressed those thoughts knowing damn well, that this wasn't that much of a good strategy. This also included the thought "acts trans, looks trans, probably is trans", that crossed my mind after taking LSD for the first time)
7: Dissociating kinda regularly. Happened usually when reading fantasy books. Didnt realise it was dissociation until like 3 weeks ago

Probably missed some stuff but those are the most significant ones. Quite a lot of stuff are signs that appears around the last year or so.

but it also happens that then the kids with older, hand-me-down uniforms just wind up being bullied

I know, this is also why I dont like the "bully argument" because no matter what kids will always find something to bully others over.

But now as an adult, it’s so weird - why were a bunch of adults so concerned about whether a kid in elementary school likes to wear rings?

I dont know, but I completely agree. That's simply straight up stupid. No ones is getting hurt and no one should care. Instead the adults should teach the kids to step outside of boxes to form a more tolerant and accepting generation.
