If you don't feel like you are the gender you were assigned at birth, you're pretty likely to be trans. Binary or nonbinary.

Only you can find out. It definitely requires some soul searching. Think about how you act, how you think, and how you react to certain situations and compare that to the definition and symptoms. Try to talk to those who are transgender if you know someone or in a support chat to get more specific answers and do your research so you understand what it means to be transgender.

Most people will say you will know if you experience dysphoria, but that isn't all. You don't have to experience dysphoria to know. I'd say you'll know when you don't feel right with your assigned sex. You want to make a change. Not just dysphoria.

It just comes to you! If you're unsure, try and wait, and if it's true the thought will click one day. If you're still confused, you might be a different but similar gender, such as non-binary! This is how I found out I was transgender :-)

In my opinion, transgender means a person who identifies with a gender that is not the one assigned to them at birth. For example, if a person is born with male genitalia, but identifies as a female. This doesn't necessarily mean they are undergoing hormones and/or surgery to correct it, though. That is completely up to each person individually.

The only way you know if you're transgender is if you feel or identify as a gender other than the one you were assigned at birth. If you are transgender then you might've been born biologically as a male but feel you are female and vice versa.

It's hard to explain and for me the easiest way to say it is that it's like no matter what you wear or how cute you look you just don't feel right. Like you're out of place. it took me about a year and a half to finally realize that that was why I constantly felt weir in close that were for my beginning gender. And I can tell you now that I've taken the steps to feel more at home in my body I am so much happier, so don't ever let anything stop you from being you.

There is no specified way to know if you are transgender because it is such a personal thing. But you could try standing in front of a mirror and saying. "I (insert name) am female." and then saying, "I (insert name) am male." If you are feeling very uncomfortable saying one and more comfortable saying the other it could give you some clues. It's also important to remember that there are more than the two binary genders. Some people are a mix of both, or neither at all. I would suggest you do some more research on the non-binary and see what works for you. Remember that gender is a personal thing and has nothing to do with your interest, clothing, gender expression etc. If you want to talk more in depth about this just hit me up on chat and I'd be more than happy to answer all questions and give you some good resources :)

So, my boyfriend is transgender and it... you don't fit into your body. There's this huge dysphoria for the the opposite gender and it really sucks
