I keep having self-doubts but I just keep reminding myself of the things I would say to my partner when they were considering getting mobility aids: "people who don't need them, don't even consider if they'd be better with them" and "if you still want the thing in 6 months then it's not shiny object syndrome it's an actual desire"
Similarly, "cishet AMAB dont even consider transitioning, certainly not at all hours of the day in every circumstance regardless of kinks, suggestions, or outside influence" and since I've been wanting this since I was 14, I think it's safe to say it's something I really want.
If you've gotten to this point (assuming I recognize your user from a post earlier this past week) then you probably shouldn't be worried about being an imposter. Of course, I can't definitively tell anyone their own path of self-discovery, but I hope that is a little reassuring.

Honestly "constantly battling whether I really am Trans or whether I somehow just made it all up" might as well be a listed symptom of being Trans.

my impostor syndrome kinda disappeared after a couple nights spent crying because of gender dysphoria

I'm fighting it with logic and FAX. Eventually my emotions will get it
