Lava eels gave me stardew gender dysphoria and it's not what you think

Uh, I can explain. I'm a cis woman, which means I was assigned female at birth and I'm happy about it. I recently married Leah, and learned that while same-sex stardew couples adopt, heterosexual couples are able to have children of their own. So as the genius that I am, I decided to trans my gender at the local wizard so that I can live the dream that I can't in real life.

At the press of a button, it was done. My first thought was-- Wait, am I taller now? Wider? I tried to think nothing of it and continued on with my day. The next time I login, I've forgotten I even did this ordeal to begin with. Then it's the little things-- recognizing a new facial expression, realizing that my character walks differently, etc. I realized I wish I could switch back to the "girl" character model, although it doesn't even make that much of a difference. Leah still hasn't gave me "the talk" yet, so I decided to wait. Perhaps I'll simply get used to it.

It has been several weeks irl and I have not gotten used to it. I play Stardew only occasionally so Leah still hasn't talked about having kids yet, but I'm already wishing it's over. There was just something "wrong" that I didn't like about the male player model, and I tried to rationalize that it's because I've always played with a female character and I'm simply not used to it. I went on with fishing, going into the skull cavern, growing crops... All the while, I keep noticing things about my farmer that wasn't there before, and instead of curiosity and fun, I felt off.

The last straw is when I got a lava eel and decided to put it in a pond. I went online to read up on lava eel info and saw that the eels call you "leg boy" if you're a male farmer. Leg boy. Freaking lava eel nickname gave me this strange feeling and I just silently went into the wizard's tower and changed back into the female player model. It hit me that this is my silly, rather insignificant experience of what trans people describe as dysphoria, in stardew valley.

tl;dr: lava eels' comment gave me dysphoria and I guess I'm now cis+ or something.
