I’m not sure whether this is the right place for this question, but… How do you know?

Like, I would 100% be a woman if I could choose. I also always play a female character in games. When I see a girl I feel a strong sexual attraction, but I also feel jealous of her.

But, I’m honestly not sure if I am not cisgendered. I feel like I missed the boat. I also don’t know if I am sure enough. Is this impostor syndrome? How do I know it’s not just sexual attraction? Or me being unhappy with the role men have in this world? Or me being depressed otherwise? It all seems like a big tangled mess.

Thanks a lot for all the comments. I made an appointment with my GP next week and hope that he can refer me to a therapist. All the best to you all <3

    It sounds like you’re literally me, I’ve had every single one of those thoughts and honestly, I’m only slightly ahead of you in that I’ve had some therapy now and I understand that I’m trans, even if I haven’t fully accepted it yet. Therapy is definitely step 1, and also some gentle experimentation, remember though that this process will take as long as it takes, you can’t rush it. If you decide to try on women’s clothes I definitely recommend getting a padded bra and some tights, the only time so far I’ve felt good in them is thanks to those two
