Okay, so I have never been a "girly-girl" but i always felt kind of feminine, but also boyish. I know that I am attracted to boys, but I don't understand my gender identity. I think that I might be gender-queer, but I don't really know.
I feel like a girl, but also like a boy, and I am very confused and scared. I don't know if this is a passing thing or permanent, and I really need some advice.
I usually don't go onto forums and things, but I feel really helpless and alone. Any advice is welcome.

First, welcome to the forums.

Now, what you describe is more of being a tomboy than gender confusion. You like to rough it up with boyish things, yet you enjoy being a girl. Being female does not mean you have to wear pretty little dresses and play with dolls, be a housewife and all that shit. You can be feminine while being boyish. My sister was a tomboy most of her puberty, broke her ankle climbing trees with the guys and now she still challenges boys on "piss contests" but also can be a pretty nice girl if she wants to. Sexy too! :)

IMHO, you are just going to a Tomboy stage of your growing up, Nothing wrong there.
