Unsure of my gender identity

I've recently had an experience that has me seriously questioning my gender identity.
It all started with a dream. I occasionally experience extremely vivid and at least semi_lucid dreams. One of the largest differences these have from normal dreams is that I tend to feel strong emotions where in a normal dream I am more of a passive observer.

But anyways, in the dream I was turned from make to female by advanced medical machinery. While this alone wouldn't normally be something to worry about, my feelings inside the dream and after are.

The closest thing I have to compare it to is the feeling I had whenever I got a really cool gift for Christmas. One that I had wanted for a long time but didn't think I would get.

I felt overjoyed, and when I woke up I felt as if somethimg clicked. And it also dredged up a lot of other things. Like the fact that I've had passing desire to be the opposite sex, but passed it up as just curiosity. Or the fact that I would never play as make characters in video games because of the yuck factor when I looked at them.

IM not sure what to make of this. Thoughts?

 

If by female clothes you mean dresses then no. But I hate dresses and the like. I suppose I've felt something akin to being in the wrong body. But not exactly as I know I wouldn't be able to switch bodies. I have felt as if I haw the wrong type of genitals, though.

 

You know, I always have been Jealous of some of the fashion women wear. But no, I just care about the body. I don't have any interest in taking on female societal roles per se.

 

I believe you misunderstood me. The societal elements of being female I was referring to was the being perceived as a woman. Being called as a woman is fine. But there is extra baggage that comes with taking on the role of a woman. That is my primary point of contention. The clothes and body are fine by me, I just know I've seen many women that have been treated badly or excluded from opportunities and such because they are women.
