How would you deal with this?

Hi,

I've been a guy my whole life, and most of the time I haven't really questioned that. But there have been periods where I started wondering about my gender.

Looking back at pictures and hearing stories from when I was little, I often preferred wearing dresses and hair clips. Apparently I would even cry if I wasn't allowed to wear them.

I've also never really felt like the "typical guy" compared to most of the guys around me. I've always been very emotional, and generally didn't fit a lot of the stereotypes people associate with being male.

I don't really know what all of this means. Maybe it's just part of who I am, or maybe it's connected to something deeper about my gender. Has anyone else had similar experiences? How did you figure things out?
