Non-Trans Thoughts vs Trans Thoughts

In my everlasting quest to find connection with the rest of society, I frequently think about how do non-trans people think. I've done a fair share of observation, but I feel that I need to look inwardly at myself to get to the truth. So here are a bunch of thoughts that have raced through my mind during certain situations in my life and that I speculate have also come across the minds of many trans people. The thoughts have been sometimes fleeting, sometimes excruciating, many insecure, many sound silly upon reflection although they were extremely serious at the time. The thoughts that I'm talking about are gender-related thoughts. Why do I think they differ from non-trans people? Based on conversations, listening, seeing the occasional blank stare when I try to explain myself. I would add that trans people quite often also have the same thoughts as non-trans people in addition to the gender-related thoughts. It all adds to the complexity and "fun" when we try to figure out our emotions, our priorities, our struggles.
