I'm a 16 year old white trans girl who goes to a "ghetto" school, AMA

Do you ever worry that you're a bit young to be making these huge decisions about your life and body? I really mean no offense it's just when I was 16 I was so sure about so much stuff about myself that didn't really hold true when I got older. Hell I'm almost 30 and I still worry about getting a tattoo because I might change my mind in 5 years.

Also I'm a girl but when I was a kid I was way more into "boy" things than "girl" things. I was a tomboy but I never thought I wasn't actually a girl. My fear with young people and transgenders is that boys that are into girl things might think they actually are a girl and visa versa for girls that are into boy things. Instead of thinking that it's ok to be interested in things that are generally attached to the opposite sex. Where do you draw the line between like a tomboy and actual boy. Does your brain tell you that because you like girl clothes or makeup or general girl stuff that you are a girl? Or is it something separate? I'm so sorry if this comment is offensive, it's not my intention. I've never met a transgender person and don't know how it works. I'm just curious.
