AITA for not telling people on Internet I’m trans?

YTA. I empathize with your plight, I really do. It must be difficult to believe you're a female while in a male's body your whole life and then you get online and you can essentially be whatever you want. So you chose to act as if you were always what you wanted to be, a biological female. You still shouldn't lie to people. Being a trans woman is substantively different from being a biological woman. I may think differently if you didn't realize that you were lying, but clearly you've been fully aware of that for a while. I would just tell them, honestly they probably won't care. If they do, are those really the people you want to spend your time around? It'll be a great litmus test for people to keep around.
