If you are struggling with your gender identity, here are some helpful questions that you can ask yourself and explore, either on your own or with a counselor or therapist. They may also be useful to convey to health professionals that are helping you to explore your gender identity and / or work toward a transition.
Q: Have you ever experienced distress or confusion over your gender identity?
Q: What is your preferred gender pronoun? (e.g. he, she, they / them / their, none / any label acceptable?)
Q: What is your preferred name?
Q: When / how did you realize you were trans?
Q: What is good about being a man / woman? What is bad about being a man / woman?
Q: Do you identify as 100% male / female or somewhere in between?
Q: What are your goals for transition (if you have any)? When would you like them accomplished?
