Do you think it’s possible that someone genuinely identified as trans for years of their life, and instead of the realization being like "oh, i was never trans to begin with", the realization is just that you identity has shifted over the years? Like, i don’t feel like i was wrong about identifying like that, i just feel like i am a different person now than i was 6 years ago
I think that's fully possible! People can be very fluid. Your interests six years ago are probably different than they are now. You've since discovered new things about yourself. That doesn't mean that six years ago, your favorite tv show wasn't your favorite tv show, or what you were studying in college wasn't your major, or the job you had wasn't what you did for a living - it just means it's changed in the past six years.
For me, I didn't feel like I had never been trans, just that it was no longer something I identified as. Over time I came to realize that for me, it was a mix of internalized misogyny and a disconnect from gender that led me to identifying as transgender - but that doesn't mean I didn't identify as transgender and I'm not going to say I was wrong for doing that, or misled, or anything like that. I learned a lot about myself from the experience. You probably did too.
