Am I biologically male?

I wouldn’t call anyone a transphobe over this. I do believe some people jump into being trans too quickly without ever figuring out themselves completely. The Adolescent years are just full of trying to find yourself, while constantly falling into many phases. I’ve known a few people in my life who transitioned as a teen and end up regretting it or going back as an adult. While this is still somewhat rare the brain for most doesn’t fully develops until age 25 so I usually tell people that if they have these thoughts they should at least wait until they’re 21-24 to really do anything drastic. It’s not because I don’t want them to, not at all, it’s just because transitioning is an extremely big decision, and shouldn’t be something to immediately grab onto after having some realization while being a freshman in high school or a middle schooler, so you should always wait. To me it seems like these days more younger people are taking certain aspects of themselves out of proportion compared to many that truly are, and they unknowingly use it as some sort of attention seeking label. That’s not to say nobody that young truly is, but I’ve seen it a lot and it can be very harmful for the community. I knew a guy who just completely faked it over the internet because he “wanted to fit in”. It was just gross, and this goes for a lot of other labels these days to. I see way to many people self diagnosing themselves and it really can harm them. Anyways I didn’t want this to come across in a bad way, I just feel a lot of the people on here can be a little bit ignorant about it
