I think I'm a trans boy and I go by Venus currently, so like...idk if I have gender dysphoria or not or if I'm faking and it hurts. Idk, can I get help for this?

@practicalTalker2284 hi and welcome! Questioning your gender isn't easy, so let me start by saying that it's highly unlikely that you are "faking" something that can make your life so difficult. Why would you do that? Why would you willingly expose yourself to that kind of hardships? If you're questioning, it's very likely that you are gender non-conforming in some way.
To figure things out, you can experiment with pronouns, presentation (in terms of physical appearance, behavior etc.), or anything that makes you feel closer to the gender that resonates with you more. How does that make you feel? How do you normally feel about yourself, your body and your social perception, and how do those things change as you present yourself in a way that feels closer yo your gender of identification?
Take your time to ponder these questions, you don't need to rush, and remember that you are the only one who can truly determine who you are. Don't let anyone else do that for you!
