How do I know if I am transgender?

You don't necessarily know but it's how you feel towards yourself. You decide that you're going to make a change in your life that will hopefully make a good impact. Through your journey called life you figure out your puzzle of a brain piece by piece and find your true identity.

You feel like you were meant to be the opposite gender. You lean towards more masculine things if you're a female and you lean towards more feminine things if you're a male.

You might feel as though your skin just isn't right. Or you were raised playing the wrong sports or wearing the wrong clothes. Maybe you wish you did/didn't have the sexual parts of the other sex. Maybe you picture yourself growing old as the opposite sex, or even finding a mate as the opposite sex. There are many thoughts that go into being transgender. At the end of the day you are the only one who knows how you feel. It could be helpful to meet with a specialist and get the conversation going so that they can help you decide what your next step it. Because when it comes down to it, gender is often fluid. Just because you sometimes feel more masculine/fem' does not always mean you are trans.

Being transgender is a very sensitive thing to think about and judge. The only person who can truly say you are transgender is yourself. Take time to think on it. Try asking friends to call you by certain things to get a feel for it and to help your decision for if that is what you want/if that is what feels right. Not everyone has the same story about know thing they're trans.

Only you can know for sure, and I think that there will come a time when you know deep down in your heart and soul. Pursue what you are passionate about and interested in. Find local groups that meet and can support you. Be uniquely you and you will find your tribe. Whatever the case, do not be afraid to explore these feelings...and never forget that there is an army of people here to support you.

Being transgender is when you don't identify with the same gender that you were assigned with when you were born, for example: you are born female and you feel like you don't identify or you don't feel comfortable with being a female, and you want to be a boy or anything else, vice versa. If you feel that way, well I guess that you are trans. (And just a reminder, being transgender isn't a choice, it's who you are)!

Hey,, I’m 14 yers old and I think I might be trans,, but I’m not sure and I have no one to talk to so I was kinda hoping you would help me :)

Well, that's different from every trans. The best way to know is to feel it. If you feel like you are than you are trans.

This is a hard question, even for me, a fellow transgender. I guess only you can know if you're transgender or not. Try listening to what your mind tells you about your body. If you need alternatives, try talking to a therapist if you see one or talk to a friend that is a part of the lgbt community.

The definition of transgender is "denoting or relating to a person whose sense of personal identity and gender does not correspond with their birth sex." . Yet I believe it's whatever you feel.
