Sooo... I've thought about this too, sometimes. But I've never felt an urge to transition or, like, felt uncomfortable inside my body. Aside from being chubby and getting bullied back in school, that is. I just liked entertaining the idea of having a female body. I always thought to myself "Who wouldn't like that?". What does that make me?

I felt like that too. I thought I felt comfortable with my body (minus unrelated medical issues and being overweight). A lot of trings trans people cared about seemed foreign to me. Turns out I'm far more content with my body with HRT and being my current weight (obese) than I was when I was 30lbs lighter (borderline healthy/overweight). But I never really had a point of comparison since I had always been stuck with my body - I just assumed my feelings were normal and blamed any negative feelings on objectively factual problems with my body. I've come to realize I'm actually really bad at recognizing and understanding my emotions in general. Also, being trans need not be defined by suffering. It can be defined by what bring peace or happiness.

As for what that makes you, only you can figure that out. My experiences are only my own. And trying to make a guess on this based on this comment would be like trying to diagnose someone with ADHD because they said they sometimes forget where they put their keys.
