it refers to the (early) phases of figuring out that one is not cis and/or doesn't (want to) conform to the gender roles set out for one, and experiences relating to those phases; including things that are only recognisable in hindsight. particularly, experiences from before one well and truly realises that one is trans (if applicable); the first signs of discomfort with one's assigned gender at birth.
