I'm not 100% sure where this thread should go so please bare with me.
Are there ever days where you doubt your gender identity?
I identify as a CIS Female, but feel more like a guy half the time. I don't feel like I am male or should be male all the time, but there are moments where I have flickers of doubt. Am I just overthinking things? I've never been the most feminine of women. Half the time I feel more like a man with a vagina instead of a penis. It doesn't help that I have more Male hormone in my system than most women do, due to a hormonal disorder
I have know many women who are more comfortable hanging out with the men than the women. Or said another way they were not into the feminine side of things. They would rather be fishing and playing football than at the salon. We call that a Tomboy. And there is nothing wrong with that. Do not let society tell you who you should be.
About the hormone imbalance:
You really should talk to an Endocrinologist. Find a good one though. Hormone imbalance can be caused by many things. Thyroid disorder, tumors, to simple poor diet or even sleep apnea. A full blood work up is needed to rule out any tumor markers. From there a few more simple test can generally isolate the root cause.
It should also be known that hormone replacement therapy is not always the answer to a hormone imbalance problem. Hormone replacement therapy can make things worse if the root cause is not understood. A personal case in point: I suffered from gynecomastia. A hormone test revealed that I had high estrogen level and low T. Many GP doctors would recommend Testosterone booster which in my case would have made the problem worse. My body was converting the testosterone into estrogen. The real answer in my case was to change my diet and to eat foods that had natural aromatase inhibitors. Aromatase is an enzyme in the body that converts testosterone into estrogen. Six months of changing my diet normalized my hormones. They key point here is to learn the root cause of your hormone imbalance. Some solutions can be rather simple.
