I'm pretty sure I'm trans (mtf), but I have some conflicting feelings. I'm going to start counseling soon to evaluate that. Any advice? It's a "free" service my college gives so it may just be some grad psych student if that makes a difference.
Also, would anyone have any links to some accurate "trans tests" if those even exist? I tried a couple, but no clue whether they're accurate or not (I got "more female than male" on most).

This is the kind of things they'll be looking for, most likely.

tl:dr -
1. A marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and primary and/or secondary sex characteristics
2. A strong desire to be rid of one’s primary and/or secondary sex characteristics
3. A strong desire for the primary and/or secondary sex characteristics of the other gender
4. A strong desire to be of the other gender
5. A strong desire to be treated as the other gender
6. A strong conviction that one has the typical feelings and reactions of the other gender
I'm also pretty sure problem is only that I can't imagine myself eventualy becoming "grandma". But it xould be just consequence of felling that I lost my youth nevertheless

Ignore the quacks, trust your own judgement.
The best test is self-reflection and self-understanding and you can use this board to help that.

Thanks for the link!
1) If by this they mean I look feminine, then yeah, kinda.
2) Mostly secondary, but recently primary has been a bit uncomfortable to me.
3) Once again mostly secondary, partly because the surgery turns me off
4) I've repressed a lot of stuff. Living on my own and going through some life changes has let these feelings become more strong than they were before.
5) I don't get sad or anything (usually) being a male, but things that are "guy things" can make me uncomfortable.
6) This definitely. Maybe not crossing my legs or things like that, (cause balls), but definitely mannerisms and feelings,

This is not OP

I've been lurking. I don't have the severe disgust of my ding-a-ling others have. Nor severe depression. I do have anxiety, but that may be a combo of this and school
