It’s been around a month since I started questioning my gender. I’m really confused on all of this, seeing a therapist would help but that’s not an option for me at the moment (don’t want to go into details about that here). Biggest source of confusion for me is the fact that there are some strong signs that I’m trans but at the same time I don’t feel like a woman (nor anything othet than a man). Does this happen to trans women before egg crack or any form of transitioning? This question is a huge roadblock for me at the moment in terms of questioning, it feels like I won’t get anywhere with this without finding amswer to it. It probably won’t be final answer to everything but even if I’m trans transitioning would’t be safe for 4-5 years so I have enough time to explore my identity.

Edit: Thank you all for responding, it’s really helpful. Now I’m a bit more sure that I’m trans but I’ll try to experiment in a safe way until I’m able to talk with therapist about this.

    I’ve started curating a list of things I like (and have thought hard about if I actually like or just accept/am content with) about myself, and things I dislike. I find it’s helping collect my thoughts and affirm things, and (I hope) give me a solid starting point with a therapist eventually (probably overkill for that purpose but overexplaining is something ELSE to discuss with a therapist lol).

    • Things like:

    Appearance

    Apparel

    Voice

    Comfort vs discomfort

    Behavior

    Desires

    • How I would like to shape myself

    Things I want to change

    Things to keep the same

    Things I like about others

    Things I DON’T like about others
