Hey! I started finding out what being trans actually means about half a year ago, and as I look into it more and more, I am realizing just how much of that stuff relates to me, or sounds like what I want to be, and I really wanna look further into it.

I was wondering what are some good resources, stories of trans people or other possible signs, that would help me answer my question.

My main issue is that I do not like my body. I always thought it was because I am fat, but now that it could be something else, I have no idea where to look and see which one it is, which is something that has really been bothering me lately. I also don’t like quite a few aspects of “male” society, but again, that could just be normal.

I just want to know who I am, I wanna be able to question myself and find out things about myself I would’ve not found on my own

Please don’t reply with “you are trans” or “you aren’t trans”, I want the only person that answers that question to be myself.

I’d just appreciate some help, some resources, something to read up on to find out what’s wrong with me

    There are so many good resources already listed here, so I’m just going to suggest some simple things.

    1. Try out a few of the gender/shape/anthro swap apps to get a glimpse of a possible current you. See if you like what you see.

    2. If you’re not interested in being a woman, but being a man doesn’t quite float your boat either for any number of reasons, it’s pretty easy to start looking into the non-binary side of things.

    And that’s pretty much it. Take your time and there are no wrong answers. Introspection can be tough at times, especially when others are set on forcing their perspectives on your life.
