I used to think I’m a guy, I like many masculine things like motor sports, fixing cars, playing shooters. Things that typically boys like and I have no desire to wear girly clothes or anything like that. But I’ve always when I was younger liked hanging out with girls more than I liked hanging out with other dudes. Maybe that’s not weird but I liked their company more, like how other boys would hang out with the guys, I liked doing that but with girls.

Recently I met someone new, she’s a lot like me in her interests and even her style, and I learned she’s transfem and that has made me question whether I might be trans myself. I asked her to call me by she/her pronouns for a bit to see how it feels, and I got a rush of happiness when she referred to me with she/her pronouns. So now I’m not sure if I am a guy or not anymore. I don’t have any discomfort towards my penis and I do think I’d miss it if it were gone, but lately I have been getting discomfort related to my chest, it feels flat and empty, and wrong. Like it should be bigger than it is. It doesn’t seem normal for a guy to feel like that.

I really need help, is it normal for a guy to feel like this or does this mean I might be trans?

    Everything in this post is “normal for a guy to feel”, yes. Sounds like confirmation bias, but keep an open mind.

      I don’t think guys normally get gender euphoria from being called she/her, or gender dysphoria from a lack of breasts. I’m very much not cis, not just because of what I said in the post but for other reasons as well. Reading through genderdysphoria.fyi I can say for certain that I’m not cis.
