What was your funniest pre-cracking sign, if you had any? I was just thinking back to when I was learning to femininize my voice because it would be funny if people thought I was a girl, but then never intended to reveal “what I really was”, lol. I’d love to hear all of your stories!

Wanting blockers was probably pretty ducking obvious
One of the funniest signs for me was when trying to design a VR game with a friend. For some background, it was a first person game where you can play pool remotely with others. With more of an emphasis on the social aspect than the game of pool. Didn’t end up getting past the design phase though (yay ADHD).
At some point in our conversation, I brought up player character model - whether you should even have one, what is should look like, etc. I mentioned being able to select or change gender of this model, but he seemed a bit confused by that, and told me it would feel a bit wrong or uncomfortable in VR to look down at yourself and see a different gender. This confused the shit out of me, so I responded something like, “Really? I’d actually prefer looking down and seeing myself as a woman.”
It would be another few years before my egg finally cracked.
Being physically incapable of choosing/making a male character in video games
The funniest sign for me was not realizing why I was so uncomfortable with the changing room for gym class, to the point that I’d run there so I could change before anybody else showed up. Probably got more exercise in that sprint than the rest of the class. XD
I did something similar but instead I would stall as much as possible and then only change once everybody was already done. Besides some obligatory comments from classmates on why I would just sit there it worked well. Teacher didn’t even care that I almost always was late. Most boys in my class were eager to start throwing equipment at their heads anyways so I wasn’t that late either
I would wear my gym clothes under my regular clothes…
