I’m confused on my gender

Well the main way to tell is to think about how you're feeling.

Having a boy hairstyle and wearing men's clothes doesn't necessarily mean anything. ask yourself why you wear them - are they comfortable, easy, or you just like the way they look and feel it's a style you like? If it's one of those and that's the only reason you're questioning your gender, it's very unlikely you're trans.

Do you feel like a boy? I know that's not an easy thing to know how it should feel, but do you want to be a boy, do you want a flat chest, do you have dysphoria, etc.? For me, when I'm unsure of my identity, I just remember how badly I want to have a penis, and it assures me I'm trans. If you however, just have short hair and dress masculine without any of these feelings, it's pretty likely you're just a tomboy.

 

Something that might help is noticing when you feel gender euphoria. A lot of the time people focus the trans experience on dysphoria. But sometimes it's hard to tell what makes you dysphoric because it's so normal you kinda just get used to the fact that you're constantly uncomfortable with xyz. Euphoria (great pleasure) is more easily noticed. Maybe considering the following things might help you a little.

Do you feel happy/excited/good when...

• Someone uses certain pronouns when talking about you

• It appears you do/don't have features you do/don't want
