I'm sorry you had this confusing... & embarrassing... experience. (I've had it too.) I'm an old man now. But I've had a life-long struggle with gender identity dysphoria. It can be incredibly confusing. So I'm not surprised that you are confused as to whether or not you are transgender. Really... the best way to figure this out, would be to spend some time working with a gender therapist if there was one available to you where you live. It can take time & work to get to the bottom of this kind of issue.

There is a gender therapist who uploads videos onto her YouTube channel. Her name is Dara Hoffman-Fox. Watching some of Dara's many videos might help you to get some idea of where you stand with regard to your gender identity. Here's a link to Dara's YouTube channel:

By the way, there are also quite a few YouTube videos on transgender people in India, in case you're interested. Here's a link to that YouTube listing:

I'm sorry, no one can tell you your gender identity. The thing I would ask is if you hate being called the name and/or pronouns you were assigned at birth? Would you prefer different pronouns, such as she/her, they/them, or other pronouns? Do you hate certain parts of your body such as crotch, chest, hips, facial hair, voice, etc.? You can try going by a different name to see if this relieves any dysphoria.

It has taken me a long time too to come to the conclusion that I am trans*. I hope some of this helps.
