Hi I'm Jeff and I'm 14 years old. I wanted to ask what I could do if i was born as a guy but have felt like I'm supposed to be a girl since a few years ago. Its brought anxiety and depression and I wanted to know my options. I am already getting help for the anxiety and depression so what can I do about my gender?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, You have gender identity disorder. In that case, you should consult a psychiatrist or psychologist for proper help. At age of 14, it is too early to say, you should go for any surgery, but you can stay for few years and assess your mental make up, whether it is towards boys or girls. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
