I am uncertain my gender.. I may be Agender or bi-gender or genderless or gender queer..

I have always swayed more male, but I was born female bodied. My hormones are more masculine (without hormone replacement therapy).. I have too much testosterone (even too much for a monthly cycle, or one at all) and I think more male then female, but I have a few female tendencies as well.However I am uncertain if I am even human sometimes.. Making me uncertain if I am even able to be male or female or both.. I have debated trying male pronouns recently and signed up on this forum as male because I sway more that way..

I have wanted to get DNA tested just to find out if I may have some DNA differences.. just for an answer, but I really don't know..

Normal people have the most popular domain to relate too,

Downside of being NT is they miss out on the wide variety of spectrums our DNA specifications have to offer.

This is my favourite website.

Oh, OK. Sorry.. I haven't actually been able to research a lot about autism myself.. I only know a little bit. I have researched a lot more about different psychiatric conditions as opposed to autism, because they weren't sure if I had it or not.. They kept changing my diagnosis but I feel I am autistic / have Aspergers. But now that makes a bit more sense.. I also agree a lot of people can be a bit closed minded.. More like a big majority are very UN-open to a lot of things..

Must one define themselves by a gender? Can't you just be you?

Now why didn't we all think of that! Your experience doesn't include Turner's Syndrome, or Kleinfelter's, other alternative karyotypes, mosaicism, chimerism, or androgen insensitivity syndrome, or... – nope, you haven't experienced any of this, so it can't possibly exist, right?

I am me.. But I feel a need for understanding myself.. Who I am.. What I prefer as far as gender identity.. I guess no one really understand my desire to actually have a DNA test to find out.. It is for my sake because a NEED TO KNOW.. I feel this need.. But I am unable to afford testing for such things.. And I am in a stage in my life trying to figure out who I am, who I like, and what I am..

I am me.. But what defines me from someone else?

Hi Dragon_Blood, do you have any older role models who can help get you through this time in your life? If you can socialize with some trans or genderqueer people who have faced similar experiences and found happiness in life, then I think you would feel better about yourself and maybe get some good advice. Find out if there is an LGBT organization near you that organizes social events or maybe even provides counseling/support groups. If that's not possible in your geographic area then the Internet is your friend (including wrongplanet of course).

I know that I would not be where I am today without the wisdom and guidance of my elders. Good luck!

I don't really have anyone and I have tried groups before.. But many times I feel excluded because I am not as outgoing nor am I someone who likes drama in any form.. It was a teen group or something a while ago.. I only have 2 friends and idk.. But I feel it is different for me because of the added hormonal difference without me having taken hormone replacement or whatever.. I don't really feel accepted in any of that..

So I came here for some support I guess.. But honestly I know none of you could prob do anything.. I just feel so lost.. And unable to explain how I feel about this issue I have..

I would get yourself checked for "polycystic ovarian syndrome", something that could explain your hormonal differences.
