I had thoughts of ‘what if I’m not really trans?’ while I was walking into the OR for top surgery, after being on HRT for something like a decade. My overwhelming feeling was excitement, but the doubt didn’t go away because that’s just the way I am. My ultimate conclusion was it doesn’t matter if I’m ‘really’ trans, if HRT and top surgery help me then that should be all the justification I need to get them. Same for anyone else.
