Questioning gender as an [AFAB 17]

I recently made a post first on r/asklgbt then r/ftm about being a cis lesbian but fantasizing about being a gay man. Got a few helpful responses, but I feel like I need to clarify on some things, and since I didn't really get a lot of responses (just 1-2 comments), I thought I'd repost here as well

So rn now, I'm still in my late teens, and have questioned my sexuality since I was like 10. Currently "settled" on labelling myself as a lesbian. Although I've gone through different periods of bi, ace, straight, back to lesbian, etc. And I've also questioned my gender a couple times. First questiong if I was ftm like at 13, then some mental health shit happened, and I decided to not touch that again. Then at 15 questioned if I was non binary, although I circled back to not touching that real soon.

Now that I've been having those fantasies, I've been questioning my gender again. HOWEVER, I don't really feel dysphoria towards by body, I'm kind of just like meh, accepted it, whatever. What I do feel strongly against is the roles and stuff I'm expected to have as a woman, although I have no idea if it's relevant here.

There is also the fact that part of why I blocked out these thoughts at both times of previous questioning is that it would be quite difficult to transition where I live (Hungary unfortunately). And that my family isn't accepting of anything LGBT+ ...

Anyway, any advice or shared experiences would be of help. Thank you for those who read all of this and thank you in advance for taking the time to give some advice.
