I was envious of girls' handwriting in elementary school. Also their faces looked so much better, I want.

Damn! At some point in being more comfortable with digital formats, I quit trying and now am self conscious about handwriting ๐
Right! I felt the same with them having longer hair.
When I was a kid, my family took a trip to Universal Studios. During one of the tours, there was a girl in a princess Jasmine costume. The moment I saw her I knew I wanted to wear that outfit. I told my grandma and the girl and they both didn't get it.
Women fascinated me, but not in the straight man way of wanting to date them or whatever.
I've heard stuff like that a lot, but don't know if I really understand the idea of "I like them, but in a gay way" in an egg context. Is it a thing you can describe?
It wasn't in a gay way (though there's that too), it was more envy but which I didn't know was envy.
Oh I see what you're saying now. I think that's some of the things I'm starting to realize about some memories.
I was incredibly fascinated by periods, later realized that it was my trying to experience that through their stories (would still love to experience periods with all the good and bad)
There can be noticeable monthly cycles on HRT. No blood and no kids, but the rest of the experience is there. I mostly notice changes in mood and libido, but some transfems get debilitating cramps ~yay~
My guy friend had his long hair braided to look very fem. I took pictures on a digital camera and would look at them, frustrated. Why the fuck did he get to be so cute? I was boyish and boring and gross, so I could obviously never look like that myself. Still, it did seem to be a better state of existence. I never understood why he cut his hair a few years later. Why wouldn't you want to look like a girl? ๐
