how do you know?

I'm not sure whether this is the right place for this question, but... How do you know?

Like, I would 100% be a woman if I could choose. I also always play a female character in games. When I see a girl I feel a strong sexual attraction, but I also feel jealous of her.

But, I'm honestly not sure if I am not cisgendered. I feel like I missed the boat. I also don't know if I am sure enough. Is this impostor syndrome? How do I know it's not just sexual attraction? Or me being unhappy with the role men have in this world? Or me being depressed otherwise? It all seems like a big tangled mess.

Thanks a lot for all the comments. I made an appointment with my GP next week and hope that he can refer me to a therapist. All the best to you all <3

In the sense that maybe I'm too old and are past some point of no return. Probably not a very constructive thought.

I thought that's what you meant. We've all had those

In the sense that maybe I’m too old and are past some point of no return.

I'm 34 and have never looked or felt better in my life because I finally got my hormones like a year ago. I am thriving because I am me. I know that's not terribly old, but you get my point. I can't tell you who you are, but it's only too late if you're dead. Whoever you are, be that person now.
