If you are a girl, you might find yourself wanting everything a boy has and wearing everything a boy does and just feeling like you are in the wrong body and you were meant to be born a boy and not a girl.

Transgender people are born the way they are. Sometimes feelings of being the gender opposite from their assigned sex is present in childhood, but other times it isn't realized until late teen years or even mid-adulthood. If you are curious about your gender identity, it is good to read up on the subject and be informed before making any decisions. There is a large community of transgender people willing to help you decide who you are. Best of luck, and stay strong!

I suppose it's one of those things you eventually come to terms with. It's not something that I can tell you that you are, or are not, it just is you. I know some of my transgender friends finally just came to terms with who they are since they had a feeling they were for a long time until they finally accepted that. Overall, it just takes time for you to realize, it's not something anyone can say is true or is not.

It depends on how you feel. Are you sure you belong to your gender? Do you feel happy? Are you better off being another gender?

While there is no foolproof way to know if you are transgender, there are some pointers. if you feel like you were born in the wrong body, feel uncomfortable being addressed by your sex, or basically just feel like your gender and sex don't match up, you might be transgender. You can talk about this to other people who are going through/have gone through the same, they will be able to answer any questions you may have.

If you find a same sex person attractive and you do almost everything as an opposite gender then you might be a transgender. But to be sure do talk to someone that can help you to clearly identify whether you are or not a transgender.

you usually know just by heart. You feel inside you aren't who you are on the outside. Its not something u figure out really its something you know in your own heart.

I'll describe how I found out I am transgender: When I first heard about transgender, I somehow started to identify with the concept of not being female. (My sex assigned at birth is female, by the way) I started to explore myself, observing my reactions when I was refered to as a girl or female creature in general and realized I hated it when people called me "girl" or "woman" or anything like that. After a long process of thinking, comparing my feelings with already existing gender identities, I finally decided to call my self 'agender', which means the lack of gender. I hope this was more or less helpful. If you have any questions, I'd love to help you finding out your gender. Feel free to message me and I'll reply as soon as possible!

Well most transgender people feel that they dont belong in the body they have. Its like they got the wrong body.

Generally people who are transgender (like myself) experience gender dysphoria, the feeling of being disassociated with your body and often you feel like you want to be more feminine or masculine but It really depends on you.
