I have had gender identity issues since I was in kindergarten. Most of my friends were boys, I didn't like girl clothes, i thought of myself as boyish, and I found myself being unusually enamoured by a girl in one of my classes during high school. I have been on several dates with guys and have become more feminine in the last 6 years or so but I have a strong suspicion that this is all far more than my tomboyish personality and sensory issues(not wearing clothes for girls). I find myself becoming increasingly more frustrated and confused by all this. What are some things I can do to better understand my sexuality?

Do you not like girl clothes just because of the sensation of the materials or because of how they made you feel? Narrowing down what does and doesn't have to do with your gender identity is a start. If it's just the sensation, that's one less thing to think about.

Some questions to think about:

How do you feel about male and female gender roles?

How do you feel about masculine women and feminine men?

How do you feel about male and female bodies? Not in a sexual sense, but as your own.
