How do I know if I am transgender?

If you dont feel like your body is you. If you feel like you are itchin to get out if your skin and want to be some other gender is when you think you may be trans. This may be different for other people, and does take time to realize who you are. Take it slow in trying to find the person you really are, ruhing may lead to regrets.

If you feel that you are of the opposite gender on the inside and feel that you don't belong in the body that you are in then you may be trans gendered.

I see this question asked a lot, mostly by young people questioning their gender identity. The most important thing to remember is that no one can truly determine your gender except you. You are the only person who can be sure if you're transgender or not. The only way to be sure is to reflect on yourself. How do you feel when people refer to you as a boy, versus as a girl? Keep in mind, you might be neither a girl nor a boy, but something else entirely. Gender is complicated and tricky to navigate. Think hard about what you want out of life, and how your gender may or may not play into it.

When you truly feel in your heart that you want to identify with the opposite pronouns. Feeling uncomfortable with ones birth gender is a key signal that deep thought is in order. The question you have to ask yourself is what gender would you be most comfortable identifying with. If someone calls you by your birth pronoun and you dread it.. Then perhaps you could be transgender. Research on all the different types of gender identities could also help.

Ask yourself what do I feel more comfortable being? A girl or boy? Keep asking this question and eventually you'll have that tremendous epiphany on who you want to be.

You know whether you are transgender when you start to become disgusted with your body and the clothes you wear and that day to day activities become more straining because you are at unease with your body and that you find acting and looking and dressing as the opposite gender solves this and makes you happy and you truly feel that the way you dress reflects who you actually are

When you start to question yourself a lot and are not feeling comfortable as the gender you biologically are. It's when you find out that you're happier being the other gender. It's confusing but it will take time and you will figure what your preferences are. From there, you can decide to make a choice, "am I transgender" or "do I feel comfortable in my own skin?" Just do what feels right to you.

That is a difficult question to answer. Personally, I discovered I was transgender when I googled what the term meant and watched a multitude of transition stories on YouTube. While watching those people talk about their lives, I connected so deeply with them that I thought bout my past and how I truly felt. I acknowledged that I had never really gotten along well with the people of my sex and had always generally classed myself as of the opposite sex. How did I know if I was transgender? By really taking the time to think about what gender I was comfortable with, and what truly made me happy.

Take time to explore yourself and your interests. Don't be afraid, it is perfectly natural to have these sorts of feelings and questions about who you are and your identity. Ask yourself this - 'how do I feel inside?'. This is a very personal thing that you will need to discuss with yourself - after all, when it comes to what you are feeling and who you are, you know best.

Labels aren't mandatory, but if you choose one ask yourself do you feel you are the gender you want to identify as, and/or are you the gender you are born to be do you feel more masculine or feminine, and let that direct you a bit. Give it some time! (:
