Gender Questioning

Someone who is questioning their gender is someone who is unsure as to what their gender is. They may be trying to determine if they are simply G.N.C. and/or if they are transgender and/or nonbinary. They may experiment with different hair and clothing styles, as well as different sets of pronouns to try and figure out what would fit best.

Some people go through questioning periods that are longer or more frequent than other people. Everyone has their own journey when it comes to self-discovery. The only person who can figure out someone's gender identity is the person who has said identity. It is not something that other people can figure out on their behalf. However, other people can sometimes help via offering new information and explaining what options are available.

Sometimes people who are questioning their gender will choose to undergo hormonal or surgical treatments that they feel would fit them, regardless of certainty regarding identity labels.
