To be fair I always hate to see to be presented with girls my age full on make up, thinking about their looks, chasing after boys and having no personality in movies, whose target I was as a growing up as a teen. I always related better to male characters even if they were just background characters and main characters were girls/women. We do a shit job a showing just a good female role model for girls.

Same! I've always related more to male characters than female characters, growing up. And my sexuality is straight line an arrow.

I think this is a problem a lot of little girls have. If you're an energic, assertive little girl, and you grow up lacking a strong role-model in media, and being constantly presented with passive and objectified models, in a society that says women have to be passive and compassionate and quiet....... it's no wonder you may believe you're "trans". Just because you don't conform to the stereotype.
