Hey! I started finding out what being trans actually means about half a year ago, and as I look into it more and more, I am realizing just how much of that stuff relates to me, or sounds like what I want to be, and I really wanna look further into it.

I was wondering what are some good resources, stories of trans people or other possible signs, that would help me answer my question.

My main issue is that I do not like my body. I always thought it was because I am fat, but now that it could be something else, I have no idea where to look and see which one it is, which is something that has really been bothering me lately. I also don't like quite a few aspects of "male" society, but again, that could just be normal.

I just want to know who I am, I wanna be able to question myself and find out things about myself I would've not found on my own

Please don't reply with "you are trans" or "you aren't trans", I want the only person that answers that question to be myself.

I'd just appreciate some help, some resources, something to read up on to find out what's wrong with me

I found genderdysphoria.fyi to be a really helpful resource. It was my time figuring out that it was more so that I didn't understand dysphoria than that I didn't have any.

Also, therapy with a gender affirming provider is amazingly helpful.
