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

    I would be a girl if I could go back. In my case, I think I just want to experience stuff I’ll never realistically be able to experience. I don’t feel like a girl. I’d like to be treated like one, a lot of the time, tho. I don’t want to lose my penis or any of that kind of thing. That’s really the only way I know I’m cis.

      Lots of trans people want to keep their penises, whether they’re women, NBs, etc.

      You don’t need all possible forms of gender incongruence to be non-cis.

        :O

        So I’m not really cis if I would prefer to have a more feminine form over the man body I got at birth, even though I don’t want to do bottom surgery or have boobs?

          Its up to you to decide. NBs, genderfluid, and agender people exist, so plenty of room under the trans umbrella. And many agender people consider themselves separate from the cis and trans binary. But femboys can still be cis.
