I have yet to meet a trans person who didn't realize something was wrong when it came to being treated like their biological gender starting when they were very young. It goes way beyond 'you're a boy who likes pretty dolls.' It's more along the lines of insisting to your parents that you're a girl until they browbeat (or just beat) you into no longer making that insistence. Thankfully, that is happening far less often now.
The Problem is that some of them, like the OP in the screenshotted post, are pretty bad at communicating stuff like this. No, wanting to have tea parties is not a sign of being trans.
Wasn't that the point of the post? That it wasn't why they decided their assigned gender was incorrect, it was just a fun thing to do?
