I had some boy interests as a child. I was known as a tomboy by my mother. I played in the dirt and climbed trees and played with cars and trucks and action figures but I still played with dolls and wore girl clothes and played with make up. I remember liking boy clothes as a kid and thinking their underwear was cool and having a penis. You can like the opposite gender stuff and not be trans. I am certainly not transgender because I am fine with being a woman even though I don't act that way because I don't wear make up or keep up with fashion, I am not a stereotype. I am also not fond of men clothes but some of their shirts are cool and don't mind wearing them if the are my favorite characters. I also don't need a lot of shoes. I rarely dress up. Who says all women have to like certain things and who says men can't do things that are considered for women only? I let my son play with Hello Kitty and watch girl stuff and I let my daughter play with my son's toy cars. I have never liked gender stereotypes. I think it's called sexism when people think only women should do certain things and only men should be doing this, not women.

You can have gender dysphoria without bodily dysphoria.
