Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

Would a fleeting childhood thought about being more attractive as a boy be interpreted differently today?

When I was about ten (over twenty years ago), I remember briefly thinking that I'd make a really attractive boy. (I'm a straight, cisgender woman). I don't think I'd heard of transpeople (only drag queens) and certainly didn't mention it to anyone.
I'm just thinking that if I was ten and that thought crossed my mind today, would it be different? Would my train of thought be "I'd make an attractive boy. I must be a boy born in the wrong body"? Would I feel like I should tell an adult? Would the adult then tell me I must be trans?

Why on earth would it? Ask yourself if this is so prevalent then where are the thousand families who a few years ago were set to take legal action against the gender identity clinics? They haven't materialised despite a huge effort to find them and convince them to sue.

Parents haven't sued clinics or the numerous schools who shamefully socially transitioned children in secret from their parents because, at the heart of any court case would be their child who has been groomed and gaslit into believing a fantasy - that a sex change is the cure to their pubertal angst.

Instead they concentrate on loving their child and trying to extricate them from the clutches of the deeply dangerous adults (on and off line) who are persuading them that parents are transphobic for loving and caring.

Parents understand this.
