Am I trans

Hi I was wondering am I transgender.
I was born as a boy and my first thoughts on being/wanting to be a girl dates back to when I was about 4 years old.
As a young kid I had a quite long hair for a boy nothing girl-like but still long and I remember once my mom’s friend jokingly offered me to make me a dress and dress me up as a princess.
Since then I’ve had many dreams where I kinda was a girl and many times I’ve dressed in my mom’s clothes when I was alone at home and I also loved trying her makeup since I was about 7 or 8 years old.
I’ve never been attracted to boys, I’ve only been attracted to girls my whole life.
I’ve never told anyone about this.
The reason I loved behaving like a girl and looking like one was because I felt so pretty especially while having makeup on.
I remember my mom having some kind of makeup box with pretty much every possible colour of lipsticks,eyeshadow and other makeup products, and I remember how upset I was when she gave it away to our neighbour.

Since then I wished even more to be a women so that I would have long beautiful hair, hairless legs and arms, wide hips, be shorter/smaller in general, have nice breasts, pretty face, ability to wear feminine clothes such as crop tops, skirts, dresses, bras, lingerie and others, to wear makeup and to have a vagina.
If I was to magically wake up as a woman I think I would sexually be attracted to men but I would at find women prettier.
I don’t see myself as a member of LGBT community but I’m not a homophobic and I respect all members of LGBT community.
Any answer to am I transgender would be helpful.
Thanks.

      Hi Ela,

      The question you ask is important, as it can help you understand yourself more and what you need to be happy. Ultimately, you are the expert regarding who you are. We’re not able to answer your question of if you’re transgender – only you can answer that. It might be helpful to find an LGBTQ affirming therapist in your area that can help you answer that question for yourself.

      You can also find resources at PFLAG, like their Be Yourself publication, that might help you figure out if you’re transgender. https://pflag.org/resource/be-yourself/
