You realize you were probably brought up to be a boy from a very young age, right? Same with girls being brought up girls.

What about when your parents are not around though? Being a boy, I was obviously raised as a boy, action men, cars (yeah, no surprise there) ETC and all the manly things that most boys are raised with, but when I was very young most of my friends were girls, so when I would be at their houses I would end playing with Barbie dolls and all that girly nonsense.
I didn't detest playing with all girly things, for starters I was left without a choice, but at the same time I never thought, yeah I'm totally loving this I want to be a girl. When at home I felt more comfortable and happy playing with my "boyish" things. I guess with trans people they feel a connection with what they are doing when interacting with and doing things usually associated with the opposite sex that is a strong connection that makes them feel happier and therefore feel that they should have been born the opposite sex.
