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

Also check out transreads.org, really great site. I will also say I was recommended the book Whipping Girl and found it offered some useful, I don't know if perspective is the right word but close enough.
