    For the past couple years, I’ve been switiching on and off about my gender. Recently, (around last month), I started seriously considering the fact that I could be trans.

    I don’t know that I’m trans, though.
    • I feel like I should be a guy sometimes, and want to be one all the time.
    • I often wear really baggy clothes to hide my curves, because I’m extremely uncomfortable with having a female chest.
    • I’ve envisioned myself as a guy multiple times, but don’t know how to express it.
    • I’m uncomfortable with female pronouns. They feel normal, because that’s what I’ve used for most of my life, but they don’t feel right. They feel awkward.
    • I’ve found that I get really upset when people point out that I have a female chest.
    • I prefer to wear men’s clothing, they feel more comfortable and just right.
    • I get really happy when my family and friends say I look like a guy, and when they call me a male name, (even if it’s jokingly).

    But I don’t know if it’s true or not. I get easily stressed, and tend to assume and jump the gun a little bit, so I’m trying to think about it reasonably. I think i might be overreacting, I guess??

    Please help.

    Hey. You're experience is pretty much just like mine AND I'm still questioning myself. For now I'm labeling myself as bigender/genderfluid/transmasculine possibly FTM. I cant answer your question as to if you are trans or not, but you can definitely see a gender therapist regardless and talk about it.

    The only person who truly knows if you’re trans, is you.
    Be comfortable with yourself. Could you imagine yourself living the rest of your life as a boy? How does it make you feel?
    Don’t feel forced into any kind of box. Just take the time to get to know yourself.
