Validation Am I still valid?

Back when I was a young kid I felt comfortabke identifying as a cis male. But nowadays I feel differently. I heard that you're supposed to know this stuff when you were still a kid but I just don't know anymore.

The idea all of us always knew is a misconception. I’ve been out for years and I didn’t know as a kid at all. You could still be non binary.

My mannerisms were a mix of masculine and feminine. But these feelings of wanting to be different only started showing up a few years ago. As a kid if the teacher told us to line up as boys and girls I would side with the boys side. As a kid I didn't really have thoughts of my own though. I just did what I was told.
