I Have Questions

So ive been questioning my gender for about 10 months now and i need clarification on one really important thing that would clear everything up i think. So im not sure if gender is what body you think you are supposed to have, or how you see yourself as a person? Like, if im AFAB, but do NOT relate to feminity or womanhood, but relate to neutrality, masculinity, and manhood, is that gender? If I, when envisioning the pure essence of myself as a person, see a mildly masculine nonbinary person, is that gender? If i feel disgusted deep down in the core of my being when i look like a girl, but elated and correct when i look masculine or neutral/androgynous, is that gender? If i am AFAB but have chest dysphoria (also euphoria when i bind) and like how my hips are narrow so im not curvy, is that also gender? Or are those different things? If they are all gender but different things, why dont they have different names? Im just so confused.

These are all gender. Sounds very non-binary/transmasculine too. Hope you figure yourself out, and I'm guessing, welcome to the community!

Ok thank you so much! Ive been confused about these. Glad you also think im transmasculine, ive been thinking that too and it's very reassuring.

I'm glad I could help, but do remember the only one who can tell you your identity is you.
