I will be 16 next month and I am VERY confused about my gender. I was born a female and have identified myself as a female, mostly because I was very uneducated about gender identity. I am going to try to explain this as best as I possibly can, so we are going to start out when I was really young (7-10 years old). Around that age, I was going through a "tomboy" stage and was even considering transitioning to a male, but quickly brushed that idea away because it just wasn't me. I didn't dress or wanted to be called a guy, it was more of a mental thing (that's the best way I can describe it), I didn't quite feel like a girl or a guy at that time. As I got older, I started to see myself getting out of the "tomboy" stage and becoming more "girly", but ever once in a while I will go back to the "tomboy" stage for maybe a day to a week. Last year, I came out as bisexual to my closest friends but than came out as pan-sexual later on, after I did some research with sexuality. When I was reading what being pan-sexual meant, I saw the term gender-fluid and was immediately curious. Upon further research this feeling of excitement and comfort and understatement, just kind of filled my emotions, and I was soon attached to the word gender-fluid and its meaning. I don't know if gender-fluid is who I truly am of if it something else. I need help and advice from others. I am very confused and truly need someones advice and thoughts. Thank you. (sorry if I didn't explain it well it enough)
I discovered I was genderfluid/genderqueer just yesterday and I am still learning myself too. Basically, as a cis male, the thing I asked myself was: "Do I feel I am a woman?" - my answer to that was yes, but it depends on my mood. I do not want to be a woman always, I sometimes just prefer being a male. With that knowledge I labeled myself genderfluid/genderqueer. The difference between those 2 still isn't that clear to me, but from what I have read, you might be genderfluid too.
