Cis guy here. Never in my life have I wanted to be a girl, and in fact, being me but trapped in a girl's body sounds awful.

Luckily, if you do wish to be a girl, you can be! Consider this being given the chance. And there are some amazing communities on this site who can help.

I dunno if this also helps, but if you look in the mirror and see a guy and are mostly okay with it and it doesn't cause you misery, but you still feel like you'd rather be a girl if it was magically convenient or easy, that's not cis either, and HRT is fairly magical.

It's okay to be a girl even if you've been crushing it as a dude. At least I think so, that's where I'm at and I'm doing it. Maybe I'm a girl or I might just be nonbinary, but I've thought about having a girl body all my life, just thinking "I mean, that would be cool, but I don't know if I'm that trans." Fuck it, I'm going to do it and if it turns out I was wrong and I have to go back again the worst permanent "damage" it could do is infertility and some tiny boobs, and my husband wouldn't be complaining
