How do you know if you're transgender?

The question of gender is one every person asks themself at some point, even if they don't realize it. It's a nebulous, complex topic, but the secret is that it's not as tricky as you think. What's important is that you feel comfortable and like yourself! We talked to gender and sexuality experts for help:

  • Clinical psychologist Inge Hansen, PsyD, explains that "gender dysphoria is a sense of discomfort or dissatisfaction with one's assigned gender or sex... If you notice persistent discomfort with multiple aspects of your assigned gender... you may be experiencing gender dysphoria."[1]
  • LGBTQ+ activist and educator NV Gay tells us that "exploring one's gender or sexual identity is very much like trying on outfits... until you try it on, until you walk around and say, 'Does this feel right?' you're not necessarily going to know."[3]
  • Licensed social worker and LGBTQ+ identity expert Zoe Staller explains, "It's also possible that you might not have discomfort at all or dysphoria whatsoever. You might feel completely comfortable, with the language around you or how you feel, and you just might want to use the label non-binary or any other label, and that's completely fine as well."[4]
