Speaking as a transgender male myself, I have this to say: It's a different experience for everyone! Some people discover when they're very young, and some don't until they're in their 50s and 60s. A common factor in transgender individuals is Gender Dysphoria, which can be categorized in multiple ways. I'd definitely say to look up Gender Dysphoria and see if the descriptions match you.

Gender expression can be fluid. An important thing to do when you are questioning a piece of your identity is to learn as much as you can about the subject you are questioning and then about yourself. Take some time to learn more about gender and gender expression. Read more about all of the different gender identities there are and then examine your own feelings and behavior. See if any of the genders you have learned about fit you in some way. Try not to stress about knowing exactly what gender you are because your ideas and feelings can change as you notice more things about yourself or learn more about gender. You don't have to fit perfectly into a box, so seek to feel more comfortable with yourself and your gender and not to know exactly what gender you are right away. Don't feel that you need to know everything all at once, give yourself time to process your new findings. Gender is just one small part of life, but if it is confusing or important to you it is worth taking some time to try and understand.

There are a few tips I can give: - Listen to yourself and give yourself enough time to figure it out; - Look up some information online about transgenders and gender Dysphoria; - Read about other transgender's experiences online, or watch videos about it; - Try to get in contact with someone who's transgender and talk about it; - Talk about it with someone you trust: friends, a counsellor, a Listener, ... You will find the answer at your own pace!

Most people will already have a feeling from very young about being the wrong gender. You may feel unhappy with your body, dislike traditionally gender specified activities or subjects. You may also have bad body confidence especially with the way your body shows your gender.

Honestly, it's not something I can answer, that's something you will have to find out for yourself. I think it might help to listen to how you feel. You're not pressured to make a decision, and you are who you want to be.

ransgender people feel that the gender to which they were born, or assigned at birth, does not fit them. Transgender people include people born female who identify as male (female-to-male) and people born male who identify as female (male-to-female).

A Transgender person is typically described as a man born in a woman's body, or a woman born in man's body. This means that if you feel that you're a woman, but you're biologically a man (and vice versa) you might identify as transgender. Just know that you don't have to label yourself at all if you don't want to. You don't need to explain yourself to anyone, just be happy in yourself.

If you have doubts about whether you might be transgender or not, it's best to seek a medical professional about that. They can best help identify whether or not you are transgender, and if you are, should be able to help with the next step, or a possible transition.
