okay i looked into this and apparently this isnt even just dracula the wolfman and frankenstein's monster like. they're DESCENDANTS of them who are normal guys who turn into a vampire a werewolf etc. they do this to "atone" for the actions of their ancestors.

this is them normally and they apparently transform by slapping their hands together and shouting WACKO and this is called the "drak whack." dracula is alive too. they call him Big D.

how did you know you were transmasc?

For the first few decades of my life, I didn't. I grew up thinking that nobody actually wants to be a girl, that it's just a sorry fate that gets handed to you and you just have to suck it up and endure it, and that everyone else is just better at it than I am. The fact that I was raised to think that all life is supposed to be like that didn't help.

When I first learned that trans men are even a thing at all (I was 12 or 13 and it was like 2006), my first thought was that it must be a very well-guarded secret, because if it was common knowledge that you can do that, the female population of the world would just collapse when 90% of women given the option to quit being one would simply quit. I didn't think I was trans because I was under the impression that all trans people have just Always Known about wishing they were the other gender. But I thought that I could trick the system into letting me transition anyway.

Ironically, the medical system of Finland at the time was under the same false assumptions as I was back then, and by lying exactly what they wanted to hear, I got the diagnosis much easier than I would have if I had been honest with my feelings. I got turned down the first time due to them deeming that I didn't want it bad enough - I had miscalculated, assuming that they'd flag me for acting too desperate to transition, but evidently I didn't act desperate enough.

So in conclusion, it wasn't about knowing for sure what I am, but knowing for sure what I wanted. I just skipped the "what if I'm not trans for real" step altogether, and went straight into "what do I need to trick these people into letting me transition anyway?"
