This isn't really a hard question to answer - the answer is yes- but it gets complicated in the context of theories of self.https://twitter.com/AnthropObscene/status/1290416248254337024 …

yeah, this one is really weird for me bc i don't have that absolute certainty that i was a girl from like five years old that i hear some trans women talk about. but what i DO see, upon a lot of reflection, is behaviors/thoughts/activities that make a lot more sense
For me, I just wasn't that aware of or concerned about gender until puberty hit. I was an androgynous kid who had friends who were both boys and girls and liked toys for both boys and girls. (I was a bit sad about not having more of the boys' toys but I still loved my dolls.)

I think if I'd been raised a boy I'd have gone with it happily, and being raised as a girl I went with it too. When puberty hit and it was the worst thing in the world and I never recovered, but I felt a bit better when I wore clothing from the men's section. That's all I knew.

I never connected having more friends, fewer suicidal thoughts, and getting better grades when I wore men's clothing with my gender. No therapist ever asked me about it. It was tolerated, but gently discouraged as immature or attention seeking.
