No, but you may call yourself feminine or a woman.
11. I thought I was comfortable as a boy/girl, but now it doesn’t make sense anymore. What does this mean?
First of all, congratulations! You are headed down a path of self love and discovery. There is a good possibility you may be trans.You might be a binary trans person (trans man or trans woman) or nonbinary.
Nonbinary means you aren’t exclusively female or male all of the time. Such as genderfluid (changing between genders) and agender (lack of gender entirely).

questioning resources
13. What pronouns should I use? Can I use he/him or she/her and be nonbinary?
Whichever feel right for you! There are so many to choose from, and any that you decide to use are completely up to you. If you take on multiple, or don’t adhere to any, that’s fine too! Pronouns aren’t gendered, you can use ze or ze if you want, regardless of your dgab, and still be nonbinary.

14. Do I have to [get surgery / change my name / go on hormones / change how I dress / etc] for my identity to be valid?
No freaking way! Whatever process you go through to feel comfortable in your skin and be yourself is your own journey, and is completely valid already. There’s no manual to this, and no right or wrong way to live out your gender. Your experience is valid simply because you experience it.

20. Are nonbinary people ‘trans’?
trans is an umbrella term. if your gender is not the one you were ‘assigned at birth'– then feel free to use the term!
in other words– yes, you can. ‘nonbinary’ is a term used to describe any gender other than ‘male’ or ‘female’ (binary genders).
however not all not all nonbinary folks feel comfy with calling themselves ‘trans’, so keep that in mind.
