    Im not sure what my gender is. It has been bothering me a lot, and sometimes keeps me awake late at night just thinking about it. I think I might be trans, because I'm very uncomfortable with being male, and as I was talking about it with my boyfriend, he decided to use female pronouns when in private. It does make me feel better when I hear she/her , if that means anything. I'm also at the point where I can't stand looking in the mirror, or taking pictures of myself, etc. Because of things like facial hair. Usually the discomfort I would get came in waves, each time a bit more than the last. So far it had been at least 4 weeks of extreme unliking of myself and my body.
    I think I may be too young to make decisions about something like this.

    Idk it's 1 in the morning and I'm very tired sorry if this whole thing is stupid

    You are not too young to figure out if you are trans or not! I promise, Im genderlfuid and thirteen so I understand. It does sound like you are trans from what you have said. I also get that disphoria from my female body in waves. Just keep thinking, but don't lose sleep over it! You'll figure it out, I promise!

    Hey :slight_smile:

    First off, you're not too young to know that you're trans. I myself started identifying as trans when I was 14 years old but there are many trans people who knew as children. I always felt different, didn't start identifying as male until last year. Some don't work it out until they're adults, it's different for everybody :grin: To me, it sounds like you're MtF trans or at least leaning toward female on the gender spectrum. It's normal for dysphoria (discomfort with having a male body and pronouns, in your case) to come and go in waves, I actually don't know anyone who experiences dysphoria 24/7. It sounds like it's gotten quite bad for you recently, I'm sorry that you're going through a tough time :frowning2: Hopefully, you'll start to feel better again soon. Good luck with figuring it all out (*hug*)
