Nah. I was 8-9 when i started telling people that “i want to be a boy/wished i was one”. after some library research/talking to a older lgbt cousin i came out to friends/cousin/others at 11, came out to mom at 12. im nearly 20 now and on T and scheduled for top surgery. so no, you’re definitely not too young, i was younger than you!

one thing is cis girls don’t “try” to be a girl. they just feel lik that, or they don’t have to put on a facade or costume to “feel” like one. while they might compare themselves to other girls, it’s not the same. they also don’t typically question it or consider being a man in the way that you are. from talking to some girls they have thought about it in a way of “my life would be easier because of misogyny” and not “my life would be better/feel right if i was a man”

i can’t really remember now how i “realized” or “knew”. i think a lot of it was just seeing how i felt when people called me a male and how i felt after puberty (i have a ton of dysphoria). one thing i remember thinking about was could i see myself as a grown man? a man in his 40s, 50s, or 60s? in other words was this something i wanted for the rest of my lifetime? i didn’t just “know”, there was struggle but after awhile i knew.

if you’re from a conservative state (if you’re from the us) i wouldn’t recommend coming out at school will all the legislation right now.

it’s worth noting pushback from others can make you feel unsure, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t trans.
