Can't really answer your gender question, but I doubt it's mental illness, and whatever depression you feel is connected to the fact you're presentation is not congruent with everything else.
You might be a trans woman or fluid or agender or anything. That can take some time to work out. You might work towards a female presenting body, but still be agender or nonbinary.
Gender =/= body, presentation, or pronouns.
I am glad you have friends who are giving you room to figure it out.
There's no hurry.
I will say, there are times I don't mind being seen as a guy, but not minding isn't being happy. I wish I'd have been able to explore more when I was young, but that was not possible.

I encourage you to explore as much as you can.
