Do i have gender dysphoria?

gender dysphoria is told as unease with ones gender, you clearly are unsure where you stand so you can say that you have gender dysphoria but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you are transgender, it is a awkward situation to be in because there is no definite way to be sure, what I would say is that if you aren’t completely sure is that you shouldn’t take any action such as the use of hormones.

The reason for this because the brain doesn’t stop developing until the mid 20s but the latter stage that you have entered is all about emotional development, this can create unease with gender, with most children who develop gender dysphoria growing out of it by adulthood. Because of this I would say taking hormones is a bad idea if you aren’t completely sure because the hormones will have affects on your emotional health.

Although I think that taking actions like hormones shouldn’t be done until you are completely sure, by all means explore your gender identity, it will help you find yourself and help give you the answer to which gender you identify with.
