does wanting to be a boy make me trans? stupid question, ik, but it's becoming a problem. I'm not sure if I wanna be a dude bc im trans or bc it would be easier EVERYTHING wise. Like... if I wanted to date a girl, I could technically be straight. And I wouldn't deal with abortions or pregnancies or periods and stuff. or is it bc I could be tall and grunge and cool? I lowk just wanna be some teenage dirtbag boy. idk wtf is going on. i get annoyed sometimes bc when I wear outfits, I don't look like a guy, I look like a girl wearing boy clothes. i want to look like a guy.

I'm kinda the same way
hi lyra (if you want i can call you something else)
to answer your question directly... well it depends on you, and how you feel, and how you identify with yourself :).
If you feel that you identify as anything other than your assigned gender at birth, then yea you're trans, but you're still yourself, and you're on the journey of finding out more about yourself!
Its not a stupid question at all! There are no such things :).
With being transgender, its not about wanting to be or have the label trans, its about wanting to be different to your assigned gender, that label just comes along with it to make it easier for you to communicate what you feel.
If you do identify as a man, then yes 100% if you date a woman, you are in a straight relationship! No technicalities there.
I strongly recommend looking into ftm (female to male) transition guides, even though there unfortunately aren't too many out there, as they'll help you with clothing, voice (if you wish to voice train), and more :).
Also- just to be a little silly... i'll swap you: you can have my boy looks, and i'll take your girl looks? :3
