I was born a female but I have more stereotypical boy interests than I do girls. Never really had dolls, played with toy vehicles and I participate more in boy sports and boy games. I have more guy friends and the female friends I've had are ones I've been interested in or are related to my guy friends. I dress more gender neutral but there are days that I definitely dress more female.
Maybe that makes me a tomboy. Everyone thinks that I'm a transgender male or I will be in the future. I just want to be me even if it's abnormal or confusing.
I identify as non-binary but I'm being told I need to choose a gender neutral name. The way I see it, is since I am a girl, I have a girl's name. I'll only consider a gender neutral name when I know for sure who I am. I've been using thy, them, their pronouns since I was 11.
Do I just live each day as it goes and hope that I can find my gender identity?
Or do I cave in after my twins are born and look at transitioning into a guy? That's what everyone except my current boyfriend is telling me to do. The only thing he says if he would support my decision because whatever makes me happy will make him happy. Nearly everyone is saying that HRT is reversible so there's no damage.
Do I really need to make this decision at the age of 16? Can I wait till I'm an adult?
If you were in this situation, what would you do?
