    Biologically speaking, I am male. Everyone I know has always referred to me as a male. I do act male sometimes, but some times I feel more like a girl instead. I some days I feel like a girl more than I do than I do a boy, but I do not express it, due to me still being in high school. I've always noticed that whenever somebody refers to me as Samuel (My name), I get rather upset and try to correct them to Sam. It's not that I don't have bad feelings towards Samuel, I just would really prefer to be known as Sam, but I'm not sure if that's part of my gender identity. I also notice that on the days I feel more feminine, I catch myself eyeing the dresses in the stores. I do own a small amount of female clothing, mostly underwear that nobody sees me wearing. I've already told my girlfriend than i enjoy wearing girls clothes some days, and she has been rather supportive. I'm just not sure what I'm labelled as, but I know i don't want to be a girl every day, but neither a boy. I just want advice on this from somebody more knowledgeable, as I am only 16 after all.

    Maybe you are genderfluid? It sounds like it. ^.^

    It sounds like you are probably genderfluid or bigender.

    But you might just be a guy who doesn't conform to stereotypes.

    On days when you feel feminine, would you want to be referred to, seen, and treated as a girl?
    On feminine days, do you feel uncomfortable being referred to or referring to yourself as male?

    Sounds like you could be bi-gender! But this might be something you need to find out for yourself :3
