Doesn't it feel like you're reclaiming a part of yourself you've lost

I remember as a kid I would switch from watching a show about cars to watching a show about princesses and like both of them without caring. I remember that I wouldn't have really complained if I was forced to wear a uniform of the opposite sex at school in fact I would've liked tp be able to choose in between the two. Then I became self aware and started to hide that side of myself to appear more like my AGAB and ended up becoming a caricature of myself. And now reclaiming that part of myself that I had lost just feels so good. Doesn't it just feel amazing to rediscover yourself. I feel like that little kid all over again.
