Questioning my gender(s)

[Faolan]

In the past, I've never felt out of place in my body, but recently I've been feeling constricted and uncomfortable. I don't want to necessarily label myself as just a boy, but I'm anxious about everyone knowing. I've confided in one close friend, but that's it.
I'm male, but some days I feel in between male and female. I feel feminine: not just in how I act and dress, but also in how I feel in terms of gender. Any advice on what I should do? All help is welcome. :)

What do you mean "you feel feminine"? I think it might just be hormones...

What I mean is that I feel what culturally is deemed "feminine," but more so than just in clothes, etc... so that I feel like a girl.

Are you thinking that you might be a girl, or just gender fluid?

I think just gender fluid, since it varies from day today.

I understand where you are coming from in this topic and it's perfectly normal to have feelings like those. I act feminine sometimes and as one of my friends has told me, "I think you have a women soul in a man body" If that makes any sense, it's basically saying even though you are a boy, you feel like you are sort of a girl sometimes and act like it even! :)

You are probably gender fluid. If you want to dress one way or the other, then go for it. If people question it, flamboyance, style and being unexpected can work as excuses.
It helps though if you don't keep it from others as you haven't kept it from yourself. It can be hard, but no excuses and just saying the real reasons for dressing up 'different' can make things run more smoothly.
Hope this helps. :)

In that case, do what you feel like doing or are comfortable with every day. I'd start slowly and subtly, though.

Chris, this is basically what I was trying to say, but you managed to put it into words. Thanks for this! :)
