Gender identity is how you feel inside about your gender: a boy or man, a girl or woman, both, neither, or something else. It isn't about the clothes you like or the hobbies you have. Lots of people wonder about their gender at some point, and you don't have to decide anything now[1]. Answer honestly and see which way your feelings lean. Nothing you pick is saved.
