There’s so much stuff that would feel weird and stereotype-y to see someone else do and think, “they must be trans!” but when I think back on myself doing them, my only thought is, “oh, so that’s what that was about.”

Idk if it's egg exactly, but my best friend as a kid later turned out to be a trans man. I would go over to his house all the time, and we would do everything from painting our nails and watching early 2000s Disney to wearing camo and fighting the neighbor boys with sticks. One time his dad referred to me as his little boyfriend or something, which made us both super uncomfortable. I think his mom thought I was gay tho.

I haven't really been in touch with him since we were at the 2020 protests together, but I found out through a mutual friend that he transitioned at about the same time I did. I tried to reach out, but he never got back to me, and honestly I didn't know how to do it.

Also, when I was in highschool I tried dating girls or a bit, and it was terrible, but my most successful relationship was with a girl who immediately came out as a lesbian when we went to college. Obviously straight couples can have variety too, but they way we were together seemed very not straight in retrospect.

I think the tendency of queer people to find each other, even before knowing that’s what they were doing, is pretty common. I hope you end up reconnecting with your friend some day!

I can second this as common, almost all of my friends from high school were queer even though a lot of us only came out after graduating.

It is extremely common yeah.
