Before I answer your question, I want to preface this by saying that you are valid. No matter what gender you feel, you are valid.
It is okay to not always feel like the gender we were assigned at birth. I don’t know what other genders you may feel like, so I’m going to throw some terms at you. Granted, these are not all the terms out there and you might want to do your own research, but I hope this will help at least a little.
Demigender is when you feel a partial connection with one gender almost all the time but the other part can change.
Genderfluid is when your gender fluctuates between multiple genders.
Non-Binary is a neutral gender, between male and female.
Agender is feeling no gender at all.
Depending on what gender you feel when you don’t feel like a girl, it might be helpful to have more ‘masculine’ clothes, or not; that’s up for you to decide.
If you don’t always feel like a girl, one thing’s for sure: You are valid and deserving of love. I know you can figure out your identity!
