Mind you, some of the old stories were proven false, because they made predictions about the future. I'm not suffering from incurable lifelong mental illness, which was a story I told and which was told to me, but didn't turn out to be the case.

But, there's no falsifiability to my story about having always had gender dysphoria and not knowing it. The best evidence will be, if I die without detransitioning, the relative stability of the trans story vs any earlier story. For that we'll have to wait and see.

The telling of the self as a story feels accurate to me? There is a tendency to construct a narrative that we call a self in which the pieces make sense from the point of the story from which we are telling it but that is the art of storytelling.

I do appreciate you answering my question. I’m very interested in ideas about the self in a theoretical and personal way, especially related to the body.
