It's entirely based on how you feel personally. If you feel like you are a boy, then you are a boy. If you feel like you are a girl, then you are a girl. If you don't feel like either, then start exploring non-binary identities! Your gender and gender expression is entirely up to you and if you don't want to label it, then that's fine also!

It's something only you can tell. What do you imagine yourself as in the future? How do you feel about each gender? To which do you connect the most? Are you comfortable with it? Try using new pronouns, gendered adjectives and names for yourself. See what fits!

I can relate; as a genderfluid person myself, I know that the question of gender is often confusing. Gender is a very internal thing. What gender do you feel most comfortable identifying as?

Sex is determined by biological factors. Boys have a penis and girls have vaginas. Gender is socially constructed. This means that society decides what a man and a woman should do.

Only you can decide and seek out your gender identity. It has nothing to do with how you were born or what pronouns others use to address you, it lies solely with what you connect with yourself. It's important to try new things to get a feel for where you feel comfortable, and if changing your name, pronouns, etc. is one of those new things, don't be afraid to try. If it feels right, it is.

I think expressing yourself without worrying about whether or not you are a girl boy or something else will lead you to an answer.

You can tell if you're a boy, girl, or something else in my opinion is you decide on what makes you happy the most. Yeah, society will try to beat you down but, if you feel confident, happy, and beautiful it shouldn't matter what others think of you. Do what makes you happy and not what others think will make you happy.

Only you are qualified to answer that for yourself! You are the world's leading expert on you, and you have the power to own and define your own identity as and when you choose.

Your own inside voice and your feelings are always the most important things to listen to. Sexuality comes as a natural thing inside ourselves and nobody can tell better than ourselves.
How do we find out? We talk to ourselves, we meditate and ask ourselves how we feel and act.
