Hi. For me I always knew. I guess I didn't know what being transgender was, but I knew I felt like a girl and always wanted to be one. Now, when I dress like a woman and express myself that way it feels right.

When you feel happy in clothing, accessories etc of the opposite sex. The idea of being the opposite sex makes you happier than being the sex you're now.

Identity is something you have to decide for yourself. There's no eternal objective standard for who is and isn't transgender.

If you see, and feel whole as the opposite gender. If you have in more than one occasion, dressed in a way that would conventionally be described as the gender opposite yours, and felt complete.

You are the leader of you, being transgender is something you feel inside, nobody knows you as well as you know yourself. Being transgender is when you are not happy with how you are.

You know if you're Transgender by how you feel. If you have a female body but have always felt like a boy, always wanted stuff from the "boys" section, your body seems wrong.

This is not a question that other people can answer for you. It's not as simple as "how do I know what color my eyes are" or something like that. Gender identity can often be a blurry, complicated thing for people to figure out. For some individuals, they have known since birth which gender they identify as and the feelings have been strong and consistent. Others don't know until much, much later in life. Both scenarios are okay. There is no race to know your gender identity and you are not wrong if you don't know until later in life. If you're worried about it, perhaps reading other people's experiences might help better understand what feelings or thoughts are often present.

A good advice for any struggles you may have with gender identity is to focus on what you are feeling before anything else, forget the labels for a moment, those can come later and just think about how you feel.

You suffer body dysphoria, you don't feel identified with the gender you were assigned at birth, you don't feel comfortable being called boy/girl, etc. Feeling non-binary, on the other hand, is different.
