Anyone else trans here who have reasons to be trans?

Alright, maybe controversial but just need everyone to hear me out.

Firstly, I am trans, and I have reasons to be. Though I think(?) most don't have a reason to be. They just are trans.

I won't state my reasons to be trans, I'll just say it came attached to the identity I chose for myself. Being trans is like the side effects of a medication. While I am choosing to take the medication, it doesn't mean I like the side effects. I am simply choosing to keep taking the meds because I feel I am a better person this way.

I just want to know if anyone else have any tangible reason to be trans. Can be any reason, big or small.

Lastly, disclaimer just in case, I'm not here to debate whether I'm trans or not or listen to anyone suggesting I change my mindset or identity. This is what I want, even if it means I have to be trans.

I am trans as well, the reason is because I felt very uncomfortable being seen as a boy/man in society, and knew I wanted to be a girl from a very young age (five years old, youngest I can recall). I'm able to pass as a woman in daily society with little issue these days, thanks to a weak male puberty, a rounder face, hormones, and voice training.

At its very core I believe it's a genetic thing, where you greatly prefer to be recognized as one gender over the other. It's not necessarily that there's a concrete "reason" in the same way that there's not a concrete reason for being gay, it's just something that happens. Just, instead of a sexual preference, it's a preference of gender presentation and perception.

If I can ask, do you mean that identifying as trans is something you have to do to better align yourself with your identity? Whereas you wouldn't NEED to if you decided to identify yourself differently?
