You could be transgender, but you could also be genderfluid, agender, genderqueer, bigender, transgender is an umbrella term under which there are many termas related to gender expressions.

You probably can read up on some of those labels and see what you identify best with.. or... you don't need to label yourself at all, you are you. I understand there's an urge to fit in, though.

I think discovering your true self is a journey, getting to know other people similar to you will help you understand what you're going through. A Gender Therapist or professional can always help you out too.
Thanks for this!

Nothing wrong with any of that. There are plenty who find what they are looking for just by accepting themselves and being able to express themselves. See what works out for you.

I'm agender myself, but if you see yourself as a male, then you could very well be a transman, regardless of whatever surgeries or hormone therapy you choose to get or not get. It's entirely up to you and how you feel.

If you want a label, see how "demi-boy" feels! The term is used for someone whose identity leans more heavily on the male side, but isn't quite all the way there.
Or perhaps you're simply a transgender man! It's perfectly acceptable to not want to transition, and would not make your identity any less valid. There are a lot of transgender people who make the decision not to transition for an array of reasons, and that doesn't make them any less of the gender they identify with!
Hope this helped a little!
