I’ve heard from a lot of people that they knew their gender identity by the time they were like six. Obviously not everyone, but it happens. Same thing with knowing if you’re gay or not, a lot of kids figure out who they’re attracted to well before puberty.
Yeah, I think I was like 7 when I had my first crush, on one of my sisters friends who was like 19 at the time.
Obviously nothing sexual about it at all at that age, I just knew she was the best thing ever lol
