I do think that many, not all, trans people over analyze themselves. I personally have learned not to really care. I am just me, and I go with the flow.

BTW, I answered "Like that's any of your business, why are you being so darned nosey?!?"
Just because it was funny  ;D

I like bunny rabbits. That being said, yes we do. I had hoped that once I stopped fighting it and just accepted it, that the overanalyzing would go away, but it just took on a new form, which is worrying about passing.

Over analysis is one of the pitfalls we have to deal with.  I don't see how it couldn't be,  we are the square pegs in the round hole desperately trying to understand where we fit.  In my own experience, I have found that I have read so much on the psychology and physiology of transition as well as having a background in anatomy, Kinesiology, diagnostics and having studied the morphological differences between men and women.  I in particular fall in to that trap.  I want to know and understand where I fit. 

If it's true that there may be differences in the structure of our brains, (I believe there is, given my own experience) then in MTF's we have the larger hypo-campus of the typical female enabling us to more effectively utilize both halves of our brain and the prior to HRT added effect of Testosterone enabling us to better focus, (one of the effects of testosterone on the brain is to enhance the ability to focus, it effectively puts the blinders on so we are not distracted).  It also enhances the linear thinking needed for logical analysis.  Because I have not begun HRT, I can't say much on the over analysis other than I believe I would still tend to that out of habit, training, what have you.

I voted for bunny rabbits.

I think most people believe they're over analytical, I think it's just human nature.

That being said, I know I now over-analyze everything, but that's expected when you're undergoing a lawbotomy. :D

Maybe we're over-analyzing whether or not we over-analyze in this thread?  lol

But exactly is "Too much" when you are trans? It's not like deciding on a new job, possibly relocating across the country. Or seeing a therapist about some depressions, social anxiety, anger, whatever. We are talking about possibly alientnating every person you know, may come into contact with, family, even parents. Dealing with red-necks and religous nudnicks that wish you were dead or worse. Some perhaps willing to expedite the process. Loosing a job, not getting a job, needing money for docs, meds, surgeries. Trading off one set of problems to hopefuly fix another while knowing you are jumping into a whole nother mess of problems.

And that is just for starters.

Lots of things to think about and constantly revist and reevaluate.

What is "Too much" when you are trans?
