Unsure about my gender, I may be transgender?

I don't really know how I knew. There was no "snap" moment, where I realised. I guess I had that moment when realising I was genderqueer to some degree about a year before, but not when realizing that I'm actually trans. (As a sidenote, I have only just remembered that thing.) I mean, I started reading around on here, and just felt like I identified with various transgender / non-binary individuals. I realized that I'd been having severe dysphoria for a while (I just thought that it was body insecurity + depression, or something). Maybe you could try reading the stories of some trans(*) people? I don't know about the dream. It's kind-of rich in symbolism, and dreams can be meaningful. So take from it what you will.

Do you feel as if you want to identify as female? Do you feel as if you want to be perceived as female? If yes, then you could well be transgender. Substitute female for other labels as appropriate.

 

Dreams are just dreams, I guess.

But...I think that if you actually started considering a possiblility of being trans, it means that you are likely to be trans(some kind of).
Being trans means that your gender and sex don't match in 100%. In your case, they don't seem to match, you're not cis then. If they were matching, you wouldn't have dysphoria.

I can't say that I knew I was trans from the very beginning.
Actually I realised a couple of months ago. And then everything started to be clearer(and very, very confusing at the same time). I realised that I have had some kind of dysphoria for a long time, I just didn't know that was it.
Now it seems pretty obvious to me and I can't believe it how blind I was.

I think you should read some other people's stories. It really helped me, it helped me realise that I have a lot in common with trans people. Some stories seemed to have been written about myself.
