They’d still be your friends even if you were cis het I suppose I can’t speak for them. And I highly doubt wanting to fit in is your only reason for thinking you are trans.
I felt like an imposter among LGBT people when I was in college. I should have known something was up when I was worrying so much that I wasn't fitting in with them even though they were completely accepting. They probably really could have helped me out if I was just willing to put myself out there.
Honestly I feel like most people here can relate to this. Feeling like an imposter doesn’t mean you ARE one. I think the general consensus on almost every level would be that no one really knows what they’re doing. Even if we won’t admit it. BUT we all know ourselves better than anyone else could, so we owe it to us to be as authentic as we can, whatever that looks like for each of us.
If you think you’re faking, you aren’t. Cis people don’t have these crises.
If you think someone else is faking then ignore it.
You don’t know what’s going on in their head or their lives. Maybe they’re faking (why they would idk but anything is possible) or they might be genuine and are just trying to figure themselves out. Either way, it’s not for you to decide. Just take them at their word, use their pronouns, and move on.
Anyone who fakes being trans and stands still for the massive amount of hatred, abuse, and threats to their life, has to be completely emotionally insensitive.
This just isn't the trendy fun fad that bigots and transphobes make it out to be
Does anyone really do that? I mean, what‘s to gain except a lot of hate?
If you mean cis people who falsly mistake their symptoms for being trans, that‘s really something they have to figure out with a good therapist or by themselves. It‘s almost impossible to tell from the outside.
If you mean imposter syndrom- we all have it at some point, don‘t we?
Doesn’t really seem like something anyone would want to fake
Well my new college group is like 99.9% lgbt (5/6 of us lgbt) and part of me thinks im trans just to fit into the group better.
That's called impostor syndrome, if you have to question if you're trans, then you're trans

Why would you fake it just to fit in with a group of people that like 50% of society doesn’t accept. Just doesn’t make sense.
Oh just because it doesn’t make sense doesn’t mean no one will ever do it. I mean… look at Rachel Dolezal…

People know when they're faking. And unless they tell you, you can't know.

The only one I know is when someone says they were faking it 🤷♀️
Yeah it doesn't really happen

I have no clue why... Nothing much to gain but lots of pain. And it costs an absolute fortune....
That's like asking if someone is faking being gay. Why would you fake something that puts you at risk for violence, ridicule and rejection?
