I'm not sure whether this is the right place for this question, but... How do you know?

Like, I would 100% be a woman if I could choose. I also always play a female character in games. When I see a girl I feel a strong sexual attraction, but I also feel jealous of her.

But, I'm honestly not sure if I am not cisgendered. I feel like I missed the boat. I also don't know if I am sure enough. Is this impostor syndrome? How do I know it's not just sexual attraction? Or me being unhappy with the role men have in this world? Or me being depressed otherwise? It all seems like a big tangled mess.

Thanks a lot for all the comments. I made an appointment with my GP next week and hope that he can refer me to a therapist. All the best to you all <3

Ah for me it was starting medical transition.

The moment I put on my first patch, the calmness I felt and the certainty that it was the correct decision... basically sealed the deal for me. And it just kept getting better.

I had so long to change my mind, and even now going on three years I could throw in the towel but I don't want to... not even close.

Every day the desire grows stronger within me to see this through. No matter how I look in the end, no matter what society or governments think.
