There is no definite "boy" or "girl". Gender is a spectrum and you are allowed to be whatever you want. Just ask yourself, what do you feel like? Labels only go so far, but remember: you don't have to label yourself!

Make sure you look deeply inside yourself on this topic. There are many things that may indicate who you are on the outside, but the only thing that matters is how you feel inside.

It takes time to determine your gender, and there are many different gender identities. Keeping a log of what you feel you identify as each day can help!

By the way you feel not by what body you were born with, but by what you mind and heart tell you that you are

How to tell what your gender is? If you could choose to be more feminine or more masculine what would it be? The answer could be both, feminine, masculine, niether, and much more.

See which identity you are most comfortable with and go with whatever your gut tells you. If both feel wrong/right, or if not having a label feels more appropriate, there are others who feel the same way and it is a valid feeling to have.

Only you can tell what your true gender identity is. Remember: feel first, apply labels later. Focus more on how you feel rather than the title of how you're feeling.

Many say it's like a gut feeling - they just know. Others may feel uncomfortable with certain pronouns or being called things such as "brother", "girl" etc. For me, the conclusion that I was definitely nonbinary came from when someone gave me three scenarios: One where I was male, one where I was female and one where I was neither. They were all somewhat similar, but I definitely like the one where I was neither best. That's how I know.

It's all in how you feel. If you feel more masculine or feminine some people feel like both or neither
